The character on the ice cream comes from the TV show 'Alf' (Alien Life Form) which followed a hairy alien that crash-landed in an American suburban family's home and has to adjust to life on Earth.

We also found a commercial for the ice cream that adopts the plot of the TV show - how good were the 80s!?
