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

[@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!!

For all of you wonderful people that watch this channel, I have a request. Please hit the like button!!!! It helps keep his channel going!! I've noticed that he can have 5,000 views but only 600 likes. Sometimes we forget and it's a simple thing we can do to help keep this channel going. Thank you😊

[@THAKENKANEKI]

I Agree Carp is a gem he definitely deserves the support I can watch his videos at any time of the day and it never gets old

[@christie-roseleonard8942]

Agreed! I instantly like every single video of his that I click on

[@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)

[@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!

[@ratbones620]

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

[@timhagens340]

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

[@m.hreels9822]

They have an American alligator museum wow I didn't know that 😮 they can create a museum into almost anything! That's pretty crazy and awesome 💯😎

[@mareekatz]

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

[@InspectorGadgetFan2024]

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

[@m.hreels9822]

😂😂😂 indeed lol

[@burningbeard79]

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

[@drea62279]

hahahah

[@mclarkins]

Jacob, Your "Life is a Highway, you want to ride it all Day Long!"

[@diannecouey5176]

I love your travels. I wish there was a carpetbagger pressed penny

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@FleischmannH0]

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

[@RobSS1963]

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

[@Myrna611]

You always find the coolest places! I so appreciate you taking me along!! I wish you continued safe travels!!

[@MP-gm5gg]

[@itsmesesame]

OMG!!!! We love you!! So happy you made it to our shop!! ❤️🥳❤️🙌🙌🥰🥰🥰 and we love our neighbors at the alligator museum too!

[@ShelleeGraham]

What a great 👍 store you have!

[@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. 😂

[@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.

[@coachshanonfreeman]

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

[@robylove9190]

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

[@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!

[@daveharm5194]

[@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.

[@ShelleeGraham]

The wicker 🐊 alligator was very cool!

[@nadiaborzacchini1987]

[@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 🐊?

[@pennysworld1317]

[@MarthaJOHNSON-iu4wk]

[@ShawnCaldwell11]

I watch you and Adam every morning with my coffee.

[@allensherrill850]

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

[@victoriastuart5308]

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

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

[@suemoo22]

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

[@BryceRabbits]

Been passing this place since my teens and I’ve never seen it open. This is so exciting.

[@Rmissjen9]

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

[@Gypc999underground]

Oh yeah baby ❤! Let’s go

[@user-sm2tq1bt3i]

[@janetcannon7986]

Wally Gator is one of Yogi Bear's friends

[@DonJoeBob]

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

[@allenrodriguez5642]

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

[@Snakesnarl]

8:33 gomek!!

[@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.

[@harleywebb3666]

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

[@bg199083]

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

[@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]

Hi there Jacob.. Yet another wonderful MU E UM ....Super Interesting collection.. XXXXX

[@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.

[@robylove9190]

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

[@garyjones9095]

Loved Wally.

[@JennyBastet]

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

[@braintceasar4315]

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

[@Drambles77]

I need a Carpetbagger Salt and Pepper Set, stat!

[@chrissygaither3934]

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

[@camrongray9536]

You’re always a highlight of our day thank you

[@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.

[@drea62279]

[@johnlai4129]

[@lisafreeman4222]

[@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.
