Joe Jonas unintentionally gave New York City some new street entertainment when a routine parking attempt became a viral moment on TikTok.
A TikToker captured the singer trying to parallel park on a Manhattan block and posted the clip with the caption: “I love New York because I’ve been watching Joe Jonas parallel park for the last 7 minutes,” humorously set to the Jonas Brothers’ hit “Burnin’ Up.”
The light-hearted post quickly took off, attracting more than 8.5 million views as people watched Jonas navigate his way through the tough situation. Onlookers joked that he looked visibly stressed as he maneuvered the car.
Jonas soon discovered the video and jumped into the comments with a playful comment: “And I saw you watch and not help once.”
The tiktoker responded with equal humor: “Listen. Learn. I’ll do better next time.”
Fans and brands piled into the comments section, keeping the moment alive. Slim Jim joked: “First rule of parallel parking in New York: park somewhere else,” while QuickBooks UK added: “you’re not getting burned… you’re just trying to back up.”
Others chimed in with lines like, “He’s still parking as we speak.”
Jonas later continued the story on Instagram, sharing a video of himself stumbling out of the New York Sora store while items are thrown at him while he gets dressed.
He captioned it, “just finished parallel parking since yesterday,” turning the viral parking fight into a punchline.
