What to Know
Part of being a celebrity means that people are bound to recognize (and record) you wherever you go, even if it’s not your finest moment — a fact of fame that Joe Jonas is all too aware of after the events of this week.
Not only was the Jonas Brothers singer caught on camera trying and failing to parallel park this week, but the footage has now gone viral on TikTok. And before you ask, yes he has seen it, and yes, he has responded.
The video shows Joe struggling to get into a parking space.

Over the weekend, a fan shared a video that was taken in New York of Joe attempting to parallel park his G-Wagon on the street. It’s easy to see who it is — his window is open on the driver’s side, giving us a clear view of his face. He was really giving it his all, but on this day, it just wasn’t working for him.
“I love New York because I’ve been watching Joe Jonas parallel park for the last 7 minutes,” the OP wrote in the video.
Considering the fact that Joe tends to be chronically online, especially when it comes to TikTok, it was only a matter of time before he commented on the video. And when he did, he wrote, “And I saw you watch and not help once.”
Well, he does have a point there.
He is being relentlessly roasted online.
Commenters are truly having a field day with this one. Poor Joe!
“He’s still parking as we speak,” one fan joked.
Even big brand accounts got in on the fun. Disney+ wrote, “This is our new favorite show,” while the account for Crumbl cookies added, “Be kind to him, world. Here he comes.”
Fortunately, he seems to be keeping a good sense of humor about the whole thing.

Along with his comment on the original TikTok video, Joe poked fun at himself with a TikTok of his own that he shared on Monday after the video of him trying to park went viral.
We see him being thrown out of a business in NYC, with his scarf and jacket being thrown out onto the sidewalk after him. “How the city has been treating me today since the parallel parking video,” he captioned the TikTok.
Oh, Joe. Never change… but maybe brush up on those parallel parking skills for next time.
