Fat Albert is the warm, good-natured title character of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, the animated series that followed a group of Philadelphia friends and became a familiar part of Saturday morning television. The humour of this clip comes from hearing that wholesome cartoon voice deliver a blunt modern reaction, a contrast that made it easy to share as a meme. Creators now use it mainly as a quick shocked response, rather than as a reference to any single episode, and its short length keeps it suited to fast edits and reaction videos.
