International Clown Hall of Fame 

So nice to see some respectful clown-based content.

I was never afraid of clowns and actually find them quite beautiful, especially older ones. It's nice being able to find a video about clowns that's not all spooky and scary. At the end of the day, they're just normal people with makeup on and a well-functioning funny bone. 🎪

My sister actually graduated from clown college in the early eighties!!

I'd think John Wayne Gacy did more to damage clowns' image than Stephen King.

Love it! I actually met a professional clown at his house in Greece, NY. He took clowning very seriously and worked for Shriner's Circus.

I personally knew Micheal Polakovs who was known as COCO The Clown. He was inducted Into the Clown Hall Of Fame, & saw his display in this video . He was my cousin's grandfather, so I knew him very well . He designed the Ronald McDonald's makeup , & attire as people knows him today ,he also played Ronald McDonald In the 1st 5 nationally aired commercials for McDonald's as Ronald McDonald In the makeup & attire known today . Michael's wife Hazel still owns the original Ronald McDonald outfit MIchael passed away in 2009. He was with Ringling Brothers circus for many many years

AT LEAST ITS NOT THE DOLL HALL OF FAME

There's a wonderful point to all this- clowns are just people with jobs underneath all that makeup. Stinks that people have, over time, come to misunderstand them so much.

Jeeez Jacob, look at your subscribers! You've been a busy 🐝 bee ! Congrats bro 👍🏼👍🏼 Watched & Liked 👍🏼👍🏼

I had a clown duo come to my elementary school once and explain clowning. It was very interesting to see them perform and them explain their art and the work that goes into it. This brought back memories.

Great little place, I normally hate clowns but this has changed my view. Wonderful content. Keep up the good work.

Love that you had a tour guide for the last video and this one! I love hearing the back stories

Awesome..gotta go!

This was so hard to watch,I'm terrified of clowns, it's was enjoyable tho. Thanks for what you do to make so many happy!

I had a doll when I was a kid my mom picked up at a flea market that was the hobo type clown. It even had a 4 o'clock shadow with a cigar stub sticking out it's mouth. It looked very old. I use to chase my nefew around with it .He was terrified of it. Such fond memories. That ed Sullivan skit was funny. Those poor dogs tho. So that's where the term slap stick comedy came from. Cool upload

How can anyone thumbs this down. This is great. I have to admit I like unusual content. You've done several I've really liked. One of the reasons I don't watxh Adam as much is his overt obsession with Disney. It's boring...the rides the eating..one big...big yawn. THIS is very cool. thanks

Creepy clowns can be terrifying, even moreso than Milton Berle in drag, but this clownly presentation was quite entertaining & didn't weird me out at all. A nice break from poor, dead, stuffed woodland creatures & broken-spirited circus animals. I loved the costumes, great colors, & the big goofy shoes esp. As a child, I was an avid watcher of "The Red Skelton Show," the quintessential cuddly-sad hobo-clown u just couldn't help but love - so funny, w/such talent - an all-around great guy & amazing performer - much more preferable to me than those evil, threatening, pumpkin-smashing bully clowns popping up on ppl's security cams all over the place last fall - those I would run from if I ever saw 'em clomping dn my street! I still can't believe u went to that abandoned lair last yr in search of the kid-scaring renegade clown posse all by yrself!

This was really nice Jacob ! The quality of your content has hit some extreme highs lately!!!! The guests are great adding to the history and info of the exhibits and the places are so interesting. I'm not even a fan of clowns ( thanks Mr. King) , but I think I am now!

from now on Jacob, you cant call a clown creepy without justifying it.

The hall of nightmares lol

Wow that was Epic, Jacob your Carpetbagger suitcase would fit right in with the Marc Anthony collection of props

Great video, again really interesting to watch and Trevor really was a mine of information. Brilliant !!!. Thanks Jacob & Trevor xx

I sense you could tell early on in the tour not to be overly sarcastic with the "creepy clown" stuff that is so popular nowadays. I take it the proprietor had a career as a circus clown.

I hate clowns but I found this extremely interesting. I had no idea there were different types of clowns.

Jacob, I want to say I truly appreciate what You do. We get to see things like this, that most of us would never see. thanks so much!

Absolutely fascinating and horrifying at the same time! I was glad to see Skelton included in the collection. He was a great Clown artist as well as a clown! Great vlog Jacob!

I debated on watching this because clowns scare the crap out of me but this was actually cool to see.

Do more circus things I love them

Really enjoyed this serious appreciation of clowns & their history. But still, Mr Bagger, I wouldn't spend the night in this museum. How can the clown image be rehabilitated? Love from England to Mr. Bagger & my fellow Baggees, Mrs JM X

How interesting Jacob. Clowns seem to be in the past now and do have creepy connotations these days. OZ 🔆🔆🔆

As a member of C.O.A.I. thank you for this post.

Clowns just scare me, but a great video my friend!

Bro, no lie, you are the only videos that get me through Wednesday. I can listen to you talk and sleep before work and I have dreams of really awesome museums when I do so. You’re living the life. Thanks for your content!

I don't like clowns but that was really interesting and kind of eye opening too, Thanks!

also i think of krusty and send in the clowns lol

Another awesome video...some great history in there.... Cheers

Dapper Dan was a great clown.He retired and left Allentown, Pa. And moved with his wife to florida.We love you and miss you Dapper Dan.☺You shall forever be in our hearts.Thanks for all the years you made us laugh.We miss you and ur invisible dog you always took for a walk.Also ur rubber chicken.Thanks for the memories Dapper Dan.We all love and miss you! ☺☺☺☺☺☺

Thank you so much for this! It was great to some of Coco Jr.'s props and costume. I met him a few times here in Fl in the 70's and 80's. I can't remember your guides name but , there are a few videos of his work on the RU-vid and he is hilarious.

My favorite clown is red skeleton he was the hobo clown ))

Welp, time to put Jacob in full costume next meetup!

if you are headed to visit Coffeyville you can go through Sedan. Just some ideas for a road trip

what happend...4.00 some where during the video the text got skipt..what was he saying???

Nice video! Looking forward to see more!

I am a clown, when I'm not a zombie, I have total respect for the actual circus arts and I incorporate as much of the traditional routines into my act as I can when working the queue lines at the attraction I work at. Admittedly, my character borders a bit on the creepy side.

Really cool!

I love clowns!! Thank you so much for this🎉

Well , well, Carpetbagger, you certainly don't "clown around",when it comes to finding odd and unusual places!! Pardon the pun,CB..!!Good vid,champ!👍🙌🎭

cool this was posted on my birthday :)

I hate clowns ‼️ ,yet. Enjoy watching these type of videos 😂

Honestly you are a great interviewer, you should do it a lot more, i seriously could see you on radio.

👋 watching older videos 👍 and commenting 😊

i love this channel sm

saw this on american pickers, awesome

interesting place but clowns scare me lol . found a souvenir from south of the border place where u went it was in a thrift store over here long way from its place lol .

What a treasure! Hope i can check this out in person one day!

What where those heads used for!!!???!

Clowns really, really freak me out. London has an odd relationship with clowns - there's an annual service in a church in the Hackney area where they commemorate the father of clowning, Joseph Grimaldi, and you can actually visit his tomb which is in an unassuming city park a mile or so away in Islington. I've been to both even though they scare me to death!

Very creepy for me, but very cool

CB I love your vlog content. Just discovered your U Tube site. I subscribed and hit the bell

1 day, I’ll be there.

I love this

OMG who knew all this It's AWESOME 👋 THANK YOU

It really was not that creepy. Actually quite interesting to hear some history of clowning.

Yes. Crypy. 😀

Welcome to Wisconsin, feel free to come back anytime

yeah the Emmit Kelly Museum in Sedan Kansas

That slapstick looked like the paddle my elementary principle used on us if we got in trouble back in the 70's...it worked to cause it kept us in line and respectable towards our elders

7:04 the big clown looks like the one someone donated to the clown motel that omargoshtv went to.

We were gonna send my daughter to Ringling Bros Barnum Bailey Clown College.... That's all she wanted to be... But Alas, it went outta business a few years before she graduated 😘 ( that's a secret )

That’s awesome would love to visit this place

Excellent!

*Send In The Clowns... Much love to all the good times.* ✨

I had a character hobo clown porcelain doll as a kid. I never thought it was weird or creepy, it wasn't till I grew up and started having sleep over that friend started telling me that both clowns and porcelain dolls are creepy 🤷‍♀️ I had a couple of classic girly girl porcelain dolls, a bride who was my second favorite, a classic clown and my hobo clown. Hobo clown still makes me smile whenever I remember him.

Very scary indeed

Someone should really donate some plexiglass cases and counter display cases. His pieces are priceless. They shouldn't be able to be handled by patrons...

He's correct. Drag has been around a looong time

Did Emmet Kelly make those clown paint by number art? Looks like his stuff!😁 love them!

Awww. Happy The hobo. R.i.p

I'd like to put this on my places to visit list. I wonder are there similar tourist spots?

Is the rodeo clown a variety of character clown?

Bunch of clowns...

Every time some mentions Clown College I think of Bart's question to Homer "Clown College or Barber College?

I love this! I may have to drive the 3 hours to visit

I love bozo the clown r.i.p bozo

I grew up on Bozo & Captain Kangaroo. Those WERE the good ol days. Later on my big sister loved Emmett Kelly & I loved Red Skelton. Jackie Gleason's sad clown too. They were never scary clowns, they were friendly & brought out compassion in people.

Fascinating insights!

I came out a little less uneasy about clowns. Never was scared of them. Just entertainers. They can be pretty cool people if you remember they're people. Female clowns are pretty cute though. Clowns can be pretty funny too.

I'm so happy they have a clown hall of fame :O)

Did your tour guide mention Larry Harmon, the 2nd Bozo (and for a long, long time the most famous Bozo, due to his outright purchase of the rights to the character from Capitol Records)? He was the Bozo I remember from childhood...

IIIIII LLLLLOOOOOVVVVEEEE CCCCCLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWNNNNNSSS!!!

I watched Bozo every morning!

not fan clowns I blame Stephen King lol this very interesting

Cool. Never been there.

Cool!!!

Extremely interesting

Cool interesting video 👍🙂

loved this vid

I know some of the clowns that is showed there. there is grandma the clown (the red dress with pearl necklace), frosty little (Between grandma the clown and emment kelly), and some other clowns i don't remember the names of

Let’s laugh and make fun of all the clowns, hobo clowns,cross dressing clowns, every clown. They are clowns to make us laugh.
