Big Chubby and Little Chubby, owners of Club Chubby. They both basically did a comical version of the 'Bandit-era Burt' personna.
Also, Burt was tight with Robert Urich who also did a good Burt impression so I think he was cool with all that.

He married Loni Anderson... and she was my "dream date" in the 1980s (along with Deborah Harry).
