* FatAndProud: Albert often introduces himself as "Fat Albert", and does not seem to suffer from angst due to his weight. The only time this ever comes into play is the 1969 pilot special, which becomes the main conflict of the plot when he overhears his friends teasing him.
** The episode "Little Tough Guy" even establishes that Albert is naturally obese, as he explains to a fellow disabled student that at some point in his life, he continuously tried and failed to lose weight.

* NonSingingVoice: While Fat Albert is voiced by Creator/BillCosby, his singing voice is provided by Michael Gray. Neither voice sounds anything alike. Made all the more jarring during the closing song sequences of the 1972-1976 seasons, when Michael Gray even provides Albert's speaking lines in-between singing.
