“The alligators are good for Christmas because they’re green and the blood is red” 😂

[@mattsquire2284]

Jacob, i want to thank you for getting me through the last 4 weeks. I was released from hospital.yesterday after being in and having quite major surgery and wathing yours and Adam the woos daily vlogs were the highlight of my day, so thank you. I watched you both before hospital and will continue. Keep driving my friend 😊.

[@lizlocher3612]

I am 67 yrs old n yes, I TOTALLY do remember Wally Gator!!! He was a wisecracking, hat wearing, slick alligator in a cartoon from the 1960's!!! He was much loved!!!

[@fixpacifica]

I'm 66 an remember Wally Gator.

[@christie-roseleonard8942]

I'm 26 but I know him too - I'm assuming my parents showed him to me. He's awesome!!

[@ratbones620]

I’ve always been really interested by the connection of Alligators and American Culture. I would absolutely love this museum!

[@pixelatedgal7448]

I’m surprised a car company hasn’t sponsored him by giving him a car so he can constantly promote them. He takes so many road trips it would work out

[@cayoooga]

Yes, I remember Hanna-Barbera's "Wally Gator". I watched those cartoons when they were brand new being a child of the 1960's.

[@jeremybenton458]

Hanna-Barbera is a national treasure of pop culture!

[@mareekatz]

I absolutely 💯 remember Wally Gator ❤ he was a Hanna Barbara cartoon....& I'm a big fan of Chachkies, Nick Nacks & Doodads.

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

I grew up bordering the everglades, and i learned all my gator/snake handling skills from the older generation of Seminole indians. They are skills i still use to this day (unlike my college degree) Great video Jake, I love New Orleans (once or twice a year)

[@VampirePrincess20]

Captain Hook would definitely freak out when he visits this museum.

[@burningbeard79]

I can hear him now yelling at Mr. Smee to grab the blunderbuss.

[@drea62279]

hahahah

[@timhagens340]

"Wally Gator was the swinging alligator in the swamp"!!!

[@paulaphilbrick121]

I do remember the Wally Gator cartoon.....I remembered a little bit of the theme song. "Wally Gator is the swinging alligator in the Swamp! See you later Wally Gator!" Thanks for the great videos!!!!!

[@jennyvezina4551]

I loved Wally Gator, I remember it well. Another wonderful fun video, thank you.

[@lizlocher3612]

The Great American Alligator 🐊 Museum is TOTALLY AWESOME DELUXE!!!! Our family had a lot of those Gator/ Florida souvenirs in our home growing up in the 1960's!!! Excellent showcase!!!

[@FleischmannH0]

Jacob Circus Krone was a big Circus in germany like Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus

[@silverghostcat1924]

I remember Wally Gator. My favorite alligator 🐊 is Louie in The Princess 👸🏾and The Frog 🐸

[@RobSS1963]

Jacob, one of your best series ever. I’ll be rewatching these many times!

[@burningbeard79]

I didn't know that I needed holy water blessed by an opossum , but it turns out I do! That sticker on the back of the battle is amazing.

[@JustinAldrich-y7d]

Was a great trip really enjoyed it WELL DONE my friend!

[@MP-gm5gg]

Used to visit the Alligator farm in St Augstine when Gomec was living. He was HUGE my son was 1yrs old then he is 28 now. Good times. Thank you Jacob. your the best!

[@matthewfarmer2520]

[@coachshanonfreeman]

"It was a very smelly time to be alive " 😂😂😂

[@JDiology]

I still have my crocodile back scratcher that I got from the alligator land or whatever you call it from Saint Augustine

[@katherinescogin5233]

Lots of fun, I will not be able to travel that much. Thanks

[@ShelleeGraham]

GREAT 👍 🐊 Alligator Museum! I can’t believe it is FREE, donations only. Thank YOU, Jacob, for sharing NOLA’s museum and Sesame the opossum store.

[@robylove9190]

Now this is my kind of museum! Have a wonderful day, Jacob ❤️

[@paulfuryes203]

I would like to do that, you do I think it would be a blast, great video, Jacob. Take care, my friend, and safe travels.

[@MarthaJOHNSON-iu4wk]

Jacob Jenn would want alligator 🐊😂 to keep in bathtub

[@kimberlyfoster7148]

LOVE the alligator museum! I have an irrational fear of alligators but I love seeing all of the alligator doo dads! The cutie versions of alligators are so cute and people are so creative. Have an amazing day and thank you for all you do!

[@suemoo22]

My nephew lived in Nawlins when Katrina hit, it was awful!

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Good Afternoon Jacob 🙋🏽.

[@geoffbartlett1300]

Thanks for sharing this with us Jacob. Love your channel it's so relaxing to watch with my coffee here on this Sunday morning.

[@joanyount3239]

Call for the doctor, call for the nurse, call for the lady with the alligator purse…what kids’ jingle/rhyme was that line from? I don’t recall the rest of it, lol.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Sounds like a Dr. Seuss book 📚

[@suemoo22]

The song is on KZbin, it’s The Lady with the Alligator purse. 😂

[@janetcannon7986]

Wally Gator is one of Yogi Bear's friends

[@Kaylee-b4y]

[@chrissygaither3934]

Jacob! Did you see that the pandas are coming back to the Smithsonian!??

[@mariabrand4021]

Fantastic Great American Alligator Museum, I enjoyed it so much! Thank you! 😃👏🏻👏🏻

[@allenrodriguez5642]

Please go see jawlean soon Mr. Carpetbagger sir. Thanks for everything you do. Stay blessed 👍 This comment is now in the bag

[@Rmissjen9]

😂 Was laughing as you were talking seriously about alligator wrestling while your face was poking out of the alligator photo op.

[@suemoo22]

I used to smoke inside, now I don’t smoke anywhere! 🥳🎉🎈

[@joanyount3239]

My cats would love the wicker gator

[@ShelleeGraham]

The wicker 🐊 alligator was very cool!

[@allensherrill850]

Jacob, come on… you have a bathtub, so get an alligator ❤

[@allensherrill850]

Logically speaking, you already have Crocks, so why not get an alligator 🐊?

[@lissachocolate]

Love the alligator gewgaws! Pretty good museum, really shows the alligator in tourism and popular culture :)

[@nikitatro5508]

I am so happy that You got the St.Sesame holy water 🙏💧🤩 I loved the Great River Road trip 🌟💖 and the alligator museum was cool 🐊 and the opossum shop was too ❣️ As always, Thank You for bringing Us along with You Jacob 🙏💝😻

[@bg199083]

Captain Hook would not like that museum at ALL. He would get PTSD from Tick Tock the Crocodile.

[@mikehughes4969]

I tried to leave a comment yesterday about the end of the Great River Road trip, but it didn't register twice. That was weird. But any, I remember Wally Gator, they had reruns of old cartoons on channel 32 when I was a kid.

[@nikitatro5508]

That's interesting 🤔 I had the same thing happen the other day...my comment wouldn't work??

[@mikehughes4969]

​@@nikitatro5508sorry, I didn't your comment until just now. KZbin is friggin weird.

[@ShawnCaldwell11]

I watch you and Adam every morning with my coffee.

[@camrongray9536]

You’re always a highlight of our day thank you

[@zacharysherrill4749]

Nice little museum, I definitely remember Wally Gator from the Hannah-Barbera cartoons. Surprised they didn’t have more pop-culture gators like Leatherhead from Ninja Turtles or Killer Croc from Batman. Also remember the arcade game where you bash them on the head, and the board game where you pulled a gators teeth. And yes, in school we would abuse the pencil sharpener, even get in trouble for trying to stick our fingers in them.

[@syedhamidi5643]

The museum makes me want to have an alligator theme room 😂. Drive safely Jacob, hope everything went well ❤

[@braintceasar4315]

You ain't discover about Papa Noel in New Orleans.? Instead of reindeer for Christmas has Alligators leading his sleigh

[@harleywebb3666]

I love the tobacco pipe content that keeps coming up I recently switched from cigarettes to pipes for health reasons

[@DonJoeBob]

Wow! Cajun Cola! I haven't thought of that in years. Definitely a lost soft drink.

[@victoriastuart5308]

I'm terrified of alligators, but this museum was a total delight.

[@allensherrill850]

I had no idea that you were a great alligator wrestler! 😮

[@Bucky749]

I remember Wally gator 🐊 I think he’s the movie yogi’s great escape I think yogi find Wally living on an old river boat .

[@loravaloo55]

I think he was also in the Yogi special with the Sprouse Goose plane. With Snaggle Puss and Huckleberry Hound.

[@bearbeartime7082]

ThAnk u again my friend and once again i would love to buy some pins and stuff but u dint ship to canada awww

[@mariehendrick7173]

[@iconoclastic-fantastic]

[@Corgis175]

And, of course "See you later alligator, after while crocodile.

[@robylove9190]

19:24 You need a salt and pepper set like that!

[@tammypanhandleap399]

CocoAlly is my friend. She usually has baby possums in her gallery. She has two gallery's and the other one is a little different from this one. She loves possums. I wish I could have seen her.

[@richellemarshall6485]

Hello Jacob. Do you remember Elvis the Alligator from Miami Vice? He lived on Sonny boat!! He is buried in Flamingo Gardens in Florida.

[@juanzapata492]

A museum of delicious 😋 alligator meat 🍖

[@JennyBastet]

Circus Krone is an actual Circus and had Alligators back in the day 😅 .. it was a good commercial ^^

[@drea62279]

[@Drambles77]

I need a Carpetbagger Salt and Pepper Set, stat!

[@zig_zagman]

Hi Jacob! I really enjoyed your trip down the River Road. Are you going to be visiting the Wisconsin Dells this summer? I enjoy any content about that area.

[@jmorgan5252]

Jacob if you want a full alligator experience enjoy dining on Gator Tail it's not bad

[@tigerfan8269]

Sooo it looked like you were spooning the man wrestling the gator and holding his hand lol

[@optimusfuturistX]

Figured you’d continue west to see the worlds largest rocket launch in Starbase Texas 6/5/24

[@unclemetal8774]

Jacob you need to go to Colorado Gators in Mosca Colorado. 🐊

[@MaliceLaStrange]

Man I need to find a way to get to the sesame possum shop 🎉it is so cute!

[@aaronp51mustang]

Mama said alligators are ornery cuz they got all them teeth and no toothbrush

[@johnlai4129]

Hey also you should visit the St. Augustine Alligator Farm again if you get the chance Carpetbeggar.

[@marcialynn3469]

Pogo was in the newspaper 1940s to 1970s. Political. Wally gator was Hanna Barbera .I'm 10 years older than you. I'm from NYC and we definitely had a baby gator from Florida when I was a kid.in an open turtle tank.

[@garyjones9095]

Loved Wally.

[@GaryLetford]

Museum is really cool.

[@sena60031]

Loved this stop! 😁👍⭐️👍

[@xymoxvnv]

Hanna Barbara I think he was the flying crock

[@Gypc999underground]

Oh yeah baby ❤! Let’s go

[@jockandtrusty]

Real holy water is never sold. Anything that is authentically blessed cannot be sold. Sweet looking opossum, and story, though.

[@suemoo22]

What if it’s blessed by a possum? 😂

[@Snakesnarl]

8:33 gomek!!

[@davidmeza1296]

Correction that Alligator poster in 11:15 is not from a movie it's from one of the largest & oldest circuses in Germany called Circus Krone.

[@lonesoul663]

Jacob must have been a opposum or alligator in a past lfe. He'll be a some type of cryptid in the next.

[@johnlai4129]

An Alligator Museum how cool is that?

[@petebarnett2531]

Are you going back up to Minnesota to see the new Dambo troll?
