Fozzie Bear Fozzie Bear is a Muppet character known for his lack of innate and effective comedy skills. Fozzie is an orange-brown bear who often wears a brown pork pie hat and a red and white polka dot necktie. The character debuted on "The Muppet Show", as the show's stand-up comic, a role where he constantly employed his catchphrase, "Wocka Wocka Wocka!" Shortly after telling the joke, he was usually the target of ridicule, particularly from balcony hecklers Statler and Waldorf. Fozzie's characterization was developed by Frank Oz, who performed Fozzie until 2000. Eric Jacobson has since become the character's principal performer.

Fatsuit A fatsuit is a bodysuit-like undergarment used to thicken the appearance of an actress or actor of light to medium build into a heavy-set or obese character, in conjunction with prosthetic makeup. Other spellings include fat suit and fat-suit. Fatsuits worn by characters are either deliberately visible or mainly concealed. Most are intended as unseen body padding beneath a costume (e.g., Rosemary Shanahan in "Shallow Hal", and Sherman Klump in "The Nutty Professor"), others appear as realistic flesh and are viewed directly (e.g., Fat Bastard in "Austin Powers", and Les Grossman's hands in "Tropic Thunder"). A fatsuit is often used to provide comedic effect, as in "Weird Al" Yankovic's music video, "Fat" and the video "Keine Lust" by the German band Rammstein.
