Joe Jonas inadvertently provided New York City with some fresh street entertainment when a routine parking attempt turned into a viral TikTok moment.
A Tiktoker caught 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 Burning up.
The hilarious post quickly took off, attracting more than 8.5 million views as people watched Jonas work his way into the tight spot. Viewers joked that he looked visibly stressed while maneuvering the car.
Jonas soon discovered the video and jumped into the comments with a playful jab: “And I saw you watching and not helping once.”
The Tiktor responded with equal humor: “Listening. Learning. Will do better next time.”
Fans and brands poured into the comments section and kept the moment alive. Slim Jim joked, “First rule of parallel parking in NYC: Park somewhere else,” while QuickBooks UK added, “he’s not burning up … he’s just trying to back it up.”
Others chimed in with lines like, “He’s still parking as we speak.”
Jonas later continued on Instagram, sharing a video of himself stumbling out of New York store Sora as merchandise is thrown at him as he gets dressed.
He captioned it, “just finished parallel parking from yesterday,” turning the viral parking battle into a running punchline.
