The Duct-Tape Salesman (Albert Goldman) is a character in Joe's Roadtrip. He is of German descent.

Role in Joe's Roadtrip
Albert sells Joe a roll of duct tape. He insists on a certain brand for Joe's needs and is very knowledgeable of duct tape.

Creation
Albert was created out of a simple 3D mouth model found on Turbosquid. Rodrigues then expanded from there, creating a body, arms, legs, eyes, and hair. Although he is a rather simple character, he opens a new category of characters in Joe's Roadtrip, the average obese man.

Personality
Albert enjoys his work and life, but is not very kind towards others. He said Joe's hostages were taken for a "lame" reason. .

Analysis
Albert is a representation of an average obese person. Although he was created for comical purposes, he also serves as a symbol to society that obesity is an issue. Rodrigues himself wishes to stick with the comical purpose because it pleases his viewers more to "watch a comedy than to watch a serious obesity documentary".
