Fan films Joe Jonas struggling to parallel park in New York

A brief everyday moment turned into viral entertainment after TikToker @neha.nas recorded Joe Jonas attempting to parallel park on a New York City street.

The clip shows the singer carefully maneuvering his car into a tight spot while the creator notes she had “been watching Joe Jonas parallel park for the last 7 minutes.” She set the video to the Jonas Brothers’ song “Burnin’ Up,” which added to the humor as viewers watched the scene play out.

The TikTok quickly gained traction, drawing more than 8.5 million views and a wave of amused reactions. Some viewers joked about the universally stressful experience of parking in the city, while others observed that Jonas looked understandably tense as he tried to fit into the space.

Jonas eventually spotted the viral attention and joined in on the fun, commenting, “And I saw you watch and not help once,” keeping the exchange light and good-natured. The creator responded in the same spirit, writing, “Listening. Learning. Will do better next time.”

As the clip spread, fans and brands chimed in with their own jokes about city parking woes. One commenter quipped that Jonas might still be parking, while others referenced the song playing in the background to add punchlines.

The singer later extended the joke on Instagram, posting a staged video in which he walks out of a New York shop as if he’s been hurried out, his belongings tossed toward him as he goes. He captioned the clip, “just finished up parallel parking from yesterday,” tying the moment back to the viral parking saga.
