Joe Jonas turns his parallel parking struggle into a viral comedy moment; says, ‘I saw you watched and did not help once’

Joe Jonas has unexpectedly become the star of the internet’s latest wholesome viral moment, all thanks to a painfully relatable battle with parallel parking. A video capturing the singer struggling to maneuver his car into a tight New York City spot has racked up millions of views, sparking a wave of jokes, memes, and even brand reactions.

The now-viral clip was shared on TikTok by user @neha.nas, who filmed Jonas attempting to park on a busy street. The on-screen text read, “I love New York because I’ve been watching Joe Jonas parallel park for the last 7 minutes.” To add to the humour, she set the moment to the Jonas Brothers’ hit track Burnin’ Up, amplifying the irony as the star slowly navigated his parking woes.

Within hours, the video exploded online, amassing more than 8.5 million views as people flocked to watch the pop icon struggle like any ordinary driver. Viewers even pointed out that Jonas looked visibly stressed as he repeatedly attempted to perfect his parallel park.

Soon, brands and fans jumped in with their own witty commentary. One joked, “First rule of parallel parking in NYC: park somewhere else,” while another quipped, “He’s not burning up… he’s just trying to back it up.” Users kept piling on with punchlines like, “He’s still parking as we speak.”

But the best reaction came from Joe Jonas himself.

Noticing the internet having a field day at his expense, the singer playfully responded in the TikTok comments, “And I saw you watched and did not help once,” accompanied by a sad face emoji. The creator quickly replied with tongue-in-cheek remorse, “Listening. Learning. Will do better next time.”

Joe Jonas didn’t stop there. He took the joke to Instagram, posting a short video that continued the gag. In it, he dramatically stumbles out of a New York shop as if he’s been thrown out, his belongings tossed after him. Picking up his jacket and scarf, he puts them on and delivers a comedic finishing touch with the caption, “Just finished up parallel parking from yesterday.”

Fans couldn’t get enough, praising joe Jonas for his humour and self-awareness. What began as an everyday driving mishap quickly turned into a viral internet moment.
