Joe Jonas reacts to South Park parody where Mickey Mouse beat up Jonas Bros.: 'Our skin was not as thick back then'

Joe Jonas reveals how he and his famous brothers first reacted to the 'South Park' parody where Mickey Mouse beat them up over their purity rings: 'Our skin was not as thick back then.'

In the episode, the Jonases are depicted as corporate lackeys under the thumb of a malevolent Mickey Mouse, whose Disney corporation cynically exploits the band's teen heartthrob status to sell sex to young female audiences — and avoid the wrath of Christian parents by emphasizing the family's squeaky-clean image (including their purity rings signifying their virginity). The "Cake by the Ocean" singer also noted that the episode seemed to mock the broader Disney corporation and the concept of tween boy bands as a whole rather than specifically lampooning the Jonas Brothers. Watch Jonas reflect on the South Park parody exclusively on EW above, and tune into his full episode of Last Meals on Mythical Kitchen's YouTube channel on Tuesday, June 3, at 6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT.
