A fan caught Joe Jonas failing a parallel park on TikTok — his clapback video is going viral

Driving isn't everybody's cup of tea. While some struggle to navigate their way out of heavy traffic, others get stuck in the endless search for a parking spot. While not much is known about Joe Jonas' driving skills, we bet he is among those who would definitely choose a long walk over parking chaos. Neha Nas (@neha.nas) was in New York, minding her own business, when she saw a gentleman struggling to park his vehicle. A close look at the driver revealed that he was Joe from the pop band Jonas Brothers. She posted the video on TikTok on December 8, where viewers excitedly voiced their disbelief at the sight.

Nas was sitting by the window, watching Joe struggle to find the perfect spot for parking his car. For a straight seven minutes, he was trying hard to parallel park his vehicle. He moved his car forward, then reversed, and repeated the cycle for god knows how many times. Nas uploaded the video on TikTok, and it quickly got 11 million views within a day. Her video eventually reached Joe, and surprisingly, he responded with a cheeky, playful dig. Joe complained, "And I saw you watch and not help once."

It's rare to find celebrities who own up to their flaws and can take a good joke without getting offended. Joe isn't just a great singer, songwriter, actor, and someone who doesn't know how to parallel park, but he is also a person with a good sense of humor. He took to his Instagram on December 9 to post a video of himself stumbling out of a shop like he’s being kicked out. "Just finished up parallel parking from yesterday," he wrote in the caption. Parallel parking is by far the most difficult skill in driving, and guess what, Joe isn't the only one who struggles with it. In fact, a survey of ICBC found that more than half (59%) of drivers say that parallel parking is the most difficult maneuver to learn while first learning to drive. Moreover, the study also found that a majority of drivers (41%) would most likely try to avoid parallel parking their vehicles. So, the next time you struggle to park your vehicle, remember you aren't alone.

The video went viral, leaving netizens in a frenzy. Meanwhile, reacting to it, @ecopunk3 commented, "This confirms my worst fears that people really do watch you parallel park." @foxybaehair chimed in, saying, "It's hard to be hot, a good singer, and know how to parallel park all at the same time."

Similarly, @courtney_gleecastversion wrote, "The hardest thing about parallel parking is the spectators." @xagx26 joked, "The Joe Jonas not knowing how to parallel park makes me feel better that I don’t know how to do it either." @kylie.krochets commented, "Knowing I can parallel park better than Joe Jonas is something I did not think I would learn in 2025." @4evergraceless wrote, "I couldn't be famous because imagine someone films you trying to parallel park and posts it, and everyone knows who they're laughing at."
