Joe Jonas Reflects on Infamous ‘South Park' Episode: ‘I Was the Only Brother That Loved It'
Joe Jonas has taken a look back at South Park's famous spotlight of the Jonas Brothers, admitting that he views it as a personal 'claim to fame.' Joe's comments appear in the new episode of Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals (via Entertainment Weekly), where he explained to host Josh Scherer that his opinions were not shared by his brothers at the time.

'Our skin was not as thick back then, and I thought it was hilarious, because I watched South Park, and I was like, 'This is so funny, I know what they're doing, they make fun of everyone!' 'To be made fun of by a comic is usually a sign that they give a s–t, and they care, and it's funny,' he added. 'They really went for us.' Joe, along with brothers Kevin and Nick, were spotlighted as part of The Ring, the premiere episode of South Park's 13th season in March 2009. The episode, which was inspired by the release of Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience just weeks earlier, sees the fictionalized trio convincing their fans to wear purity rings at the behest of Disney mascot Mickey Mouse. However, Jonas agreed that he was able to see the humor in the South Park parody, noting that the band weren't the specific focus, but rather it was 'Boss Mickey' that was in the sights of the creators. 'I mean, what an honor to get my ass kicked by Mickey,' Jonas added. 'I think it's one of my favorite episodes. And later on, now, we just laugh. We love that. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim to fame for me.' The recent comments from Joe align with Nick's own from 2016, in which he addressed the episode in a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' session. 'When it first came out I didn't think it was funny to be honest, but probably because I was actually living all of that in real time and so it just made it harder to come and live your life as a young person and have all that going on,' he explained. 'But years later and once the purity rings were no longer around, it was very funny to me and I've actually watched the episode a few times.' Joe himself reflected on the episode just months later in his own AMA session, stating he was 'so pumped' when it first aired, but conceded that 'Nick was really kind of not into watching it.' 'I thought it was the funniest thing at the time and it's kind of a compliment because obviously if you go to a comedy show and they pick you out and make fun of you, you can't heckle back, you gotta just take it and enjoy it,' he explained. 'And for me I've always been a fan and I knew that was kind of a wow we made it moment, and also they were kind of attacking Disney more than me, so I didn't really feel threatened. 'Now I watch it back and laugh and Mickey kicked my ass so I won the episode by being beat up by Mickey Mouse.' Joe's comments also come just days after the release of his second studio album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, which will be followed in August by the Jonas Brothers' seventh album, Greetings from Your Hometown.

Joe Jonas reveals what he REALLY thought about the infamous South Park episode poking fun at him
Joe Jonas is opening up about the infamous South Park episode poking fun at him and the rest of the Jonas Brothers back in 2009. The 35-year-old singer was and his brothers were skewered for their 'purity rings' in the Season 13 premiere of South Park dubbed The Ring. The episode follows Kenny, who, along with his girlfriend, are encouraged by the Jonas Brothers to wear purity rings and abstain from sexual activity. The rest of the main characters - Stan, Kyle and Cartman - decide to confront the JoBros, when they're taken prisoner by Mickey Mouse himself, as they realize the purity rings were just a ploy to sell sex to young girls while feigning a moral high ground. The episode also features a memorable scene where Mickey Mouse savagely beats up the animated Joe Jonas - who recently opened up about co-parenting with Sophie Turner - after the brothers tried taking a stand against their 'boss.' Joe was a guest on the Last Meals podcast, where he was asked about the episode, 16 years later, admitting that he was the only brother who enjoyed the parody. When asked how big of an 'impact' the episode had on the group, Joe admitted, 'I think I was the only brother that loved it.' 'We didn't have as tough a skin back then, and I thought it was hilarious because I watch South Park. This is so funny. I know what they're doing. They make fun of everyone,' Joe added. He added, 'to be made fun of by a comic is usually a sign that they give a s**t and they care and it's funny and you've got to be able to take a punch.' 'They really went for us. I think they were going more so on the idea of what it is,' Joe said, adding, 'What an honor to get my a** kicked by Mickey.' Joe admitted that now all the brothers think it's funny, adding, 'Now we just laugh. We love it. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim to fame for me.' The Jonas Brothers' father, Kevin Jonas Sr., a pastor who shepherded their careers early on, was not as happy with the episode, according to the 2024 book Disney High: The Untold Story of the Rise and Fall of Disney Channel's Tween Empire by Ashley Spencer. 'When the South Park episode came out, their father was super offended,' said Jonas Brothers tour photographer Elise Abdalla in the book. The episode also featured a rather sexual portrayal of the JoBros' concert film's water and foam gun scenes. Joe admitted that now all the brothers think it's funny, adding, 'Now we just laugh. We love it. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim to fame for me' Abdalla added, 'But I was like, don't you think the foam thing look a little weird?' Disney Channel president Anne Sweeney had a much different take, revealing in the book, 'We were absolutely thrilled because it meant that the rest of entertainment actually noticed us. I thought it was funny.' Nick Jonas said in a 2016 Reddit AMA that he was not a fan of the episode, but now he thinks it's hilarious. 'When it first came out I didn't think it was funny to be honest. But years later and once the purity rings were no longer around, it was very funny to me,' he said.

Victoria Justice opens up about death threats after ‘We all sing' meme with Ariana Grande went viral
Victoria Justice has spoken out about the long-term impact of a viral meme that stemmed from an old interview clip involving her Victorious castmates and Ariana Grande. The comment, made when Justice was a teenager, became a running joke online and fuelled years of speculation about behind-the-scenes tensions. The meme originated from a 2017 clip in which the cast discussed who sang most off-camera. After Liz Gillies and Daniella Monet praised Grande's vocal habits, Justice added, 'I think we all sing.' The remark quickly spread on social media and was widely interpreted as a sign of rivalry, despite Justice repeatedly denying any conflict. Now, in 2025, Justice has revealed how deeply the online backlash affected her. Speaking on Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals, she described receiving death threats and feeling publicly hated. 'There was a time for so long on the internet where I felt like people hated me,' she said. 'I got so much hate, dude. I got death threats.' She also shared how the experience impacted her mother, who was distressed by the online hostility directed at her daughter. Justice reflected on how the meme took on a life of its own, saying, 'It's factual. We did all sing, OK? What do you want from me?!' Although once overwhelmed by the online narrative, she now views the incident with humour and distance. 'Now I think it's funny. I'm in on the joke. I even say it to myself all the time,' she said. She added that she and Ariana Grande exchanged messages to clarify misunderstandings, stating the narrative of jealousy is no longer relevant. Justice is now focused on her current projects, including the upcoming film California King, and said she approaches her career with more self-awareness and humour.

'We Did All Sing, OK?': Victoria Justice Didn't Hold Back As She Recalled Getting Death Threats Over That Viral Ariana Grande Meme
I think we've ALL seen that famous Victoria Justice meme that went viral in 2017. The video in question features then-teenage Victoria being interviewed outdoors with her fellow Victorious cast members, including Ariana Grande, Liz Gillies, and Daniella Monet. When the group were asked which cast member sings the most outside of filming, and largely agreed that it was Ariana, Victoria — who played leading character Tori Vega on the hit Nickelodeon series — interjected and said, 'I think we ALL sing.' These five words became a widely-referenced meme online, with Victoria even addressing the buzz back in 2017. She tweeted, 'I think we ALL have better things 2 do than dredging up 7 yr old non-existent drama. That said, Im kind of excited to finally be a meme.' Twitter: @VictoriaJustice / Via The clip seemingly sparked a load of tension between Ariana and Victoria, with the pair appearing to shade each other over the years. However, Victoria shut down the long-running feud rumors during a 2023 interview.

How is this even a story? This is so stupid,' she added, revealing that she and Ariana had messaged each other privately about the untrue feud rumors. Fast forward to today, and Victoria has reflected on the viral moment once again during a new appearance on Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals.

What do you want from me?! Speaking the facts,' she said. 'And then it's like I got all this hate, SO much hate,' she said. 'I'm like, 'What did I do? What did I do?' I'm sitting here living my life, just trying to work, live. It was wild.' Victoria went on to recall receiving death threats over the entire thing. 'I got so much hate, dude. I got death threats,' she said. "I felt bad for my mom, 'cause she was looking at all this stuff online and she was freaking out." 'It really took on a life of its own and became a thing,' she said, before adding: 'Now I think it's funny. I'm in on the joke.
