I heard the joke in English.
In English class, I said "Good bye" in English.
Then, ALT said "see you later alligator".
It's funny.
If I got a same situation, I would to say "Good bye crocodile".
I don't know this crocodile joke exists, but I think it's not funny.

I heard theis joke in English.
Later in your writing you say "I don't know this crocodile joke exists". Because you were unaware that it existed before you should use the word "this" instead of "the". "This" subtly tells the listener that you are repeating a joke that you learned from someone else.
In English class, I said "Good bye" in English.
Then, the ALT said "see you later alligator".
If I got awas in the same situation, I would to say "Good byback "In a while crocodile".
Here is a little more context on the joke. The response should be "in a while crocodile" which relies on the same ending sound of "while" and "crocodile".
I doidn't know this crocodile joke existsed, but I do not think it's not funny.

I think the phrase you want is "In a while, crocodile"
These phrases are just about rhymes
Later....alliGATOR
while...crocoDILE
I don't know why this crocodile joke exists, but I think it's not funny.

I heard thea joke in English.
"The" is used in English when the speaker and listener are familiar with what is being talked about. "The joke" implies that we are talking about a joke that has already been mentioned in the conversation. For example: "I heard a strange story yesterday. The story was about a mysterious knight."
In my English class, I said "Good bye" in English.
Then, ALT said "see you later alligator".
Is "ALT" an abbreviation of someone's name?
It's funny.
If I got awas in the same situation, I would to say "Good bye crocodile".
I don't know if this crocodile joke exists, but I don't think it's not funny.

A common response to this saying that you might hear is "after a while, crocodile." I've never thought of these two sayings as jokes, though. They just make me smile because of how they rhyme. Another rhyme I like, this time a greeting, is "what's up, buttercup?"

There are many rhyming animal goodbyes, but "see you later alligator," and "in a while crocodile" are probably the most well known.
A few others are "see you soon, raccoon" "take care, polar bear" "bye bye, butterfly"

Oh, right, it's "in a while" not "after a while", huh? Or maybe both are said?

Both are said! https://www.reddit.com/r/ENGLISH/comments/13xh8cy/whats_the_answer_for_see_you_later_alligator/#:~:text=It%20was%20originally%20%E2%80%9Cafter%20a,with%20the%20way%20they%20spoke.
Someone learned this in Spanish class. I like that it's a whole new category:
¿Que pasa, calabaza?
Nada, nada, limonada.
I wonder if there are others in Spanish and in other languages?
What do you think?

Oh, as a learner of Spanish I had heard of ¿Qué pasa, calabaza? but I had never heard that response!
