\n\tJoe Jonas has taken a look back at South Park\u2019s<\/em> famous spotlight of the Jonas Brothers, admitting that he views it as a personal \u201cclaim to fame.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJoe\u2019s comments appear in the new episode<\/a> of Mythical Kitchen\u2019s Last Meals <\/em>(via Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a>), where he explained to host Josh Scherer that his opinions were not shared by his brothers at the time.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI think I was the only brother that loved it,\u201d Joe explained. \u201cOur skin was not as thick back then, and I thought it was hilarious, because I watched South Park<\/em>, and I was like, \u2018This is so funny, I know what they\u2019re doing, they make fun of everyone!\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cTo be made fun of by a comic is usually a sign that they give a s\u2013t, and they care, and it\u2019s funny,\u201d he added. \u201cThey really went for us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tJoe, along with brothers Kevin and Nick, were spotlighted as part of The Ring<\/em>, the premiere episode of South Park\u2019s<\/em> 13th season in March 2009. The episode, which was inspired by the release of Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience<\/em> just weeks earlier, sees the fictionalized trio convincing their fans to wear purity rings at the behest of Disney mascot Mickey Mouse.<\/p>\n \n\tHowever, Jonas agreed that he was able to see the humor in the South Park<\/em> parody, noting that the band weren\u2019t the specific focus, but rather it was \u201cBoss Mickey\u201d that was in the sights of the creators.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI mean, what an honor to get my ass kicked by Mickey,\u201d Jonas added. \u201cI think it\u2019s one of my favorite episodes. And later on, now, we just laugh. We love that. I think it\u2019s so great. Definitely a claim to fame for me.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe recent comments from Joe align with Nick\u2019s own from 2016, in which he addressed the episode in a Reddit \u2018Ask Me Anything\u2019 session.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWhen it first came out I didn\u2019t 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,\u201d he explained<\/a>. \u201cBut years later and once the purity rings were no longer around, it was very funny to me and I\u2019ve actually watched the episode a few times.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJoe himself reflected on the episode just months later in his own AMA session, stating<\/a> he was \u201cso pumped\u201d when it first aired, but conceded that \u201cNick was really kind of not into watching it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI thought it was the funniest thing at the time and it\u2019s 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\u2019t heckle back, you gotta just take it and enjoy it,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd for me I\u2019ve 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\u2019t really feel threatened.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cNow I watch it back and laugh and Mickey kicked my ass so I won the episode by being beat up by Mickey Mouse.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJoe\u2019s comments also come just days after the release of his second studio album<\/a>, Music for People Who Believe in Love<\/em>, which will be followed in August by the Jonas Brothers\u2019 seventh album<\/a>, Greetings from Your Hometown<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
