When a date turns into a third-wheel situation
South Africans are used to Lasizwe turning everyday moments into viral entertainment, but his latest outing took awkward to a whole new level. The content creator recently found himself on what can only be described as a third-wheel date with one of Mzansi’s most adored celebrity couples, Bontle Modiselle and her husband, Priddy Ugly.
What started as a playful setup quickly spiralled into a moment that had viewers laughing, wincing, and rewinding clips across social media. Lasizwe shared the experience online, capturing the uncomfortable energy of sitting between a couple clearly deep in love while trying to keep the mood light.
Lovebirds doing what lovebirds do
Bontle and Priddy Ugly are known for their affectionate public dynamic, from red carpet appearances to social media posts that celebrate their relationship and family life. On this particular date, they were unapologetically themselves. Hand holding, inside jokes, shared glances.
Lasizwe, on the other hand, leaned into the discomfort. Instead of playing it cool, he highlighted every painfully obvious moment of being the odd one out. His reactions, facial expressions, and commentary turned the situation into pure comedy, making it relatable to anyone who has ever tagged along on a couple’s outing.
Why the moment struck a nerve online
Social media users wasted no time weighing in. Many joked about how familiar the situation felt, with comments flooding in about being dragged along on dates that were clearly not meant for a third person. Others praised Lasizwe for once again turning social awkwardness into entertainment that feels honest and self-aware.
There was also love for Bontle and Priddy Ugly, with fans pointing out how refreshing it is to see a celebrity couple so comfortable and genuine in public. The contrast between their cosy chemistry and Lasizwe’s exaggerated discomfort is what made the moment land so well.

Lasizwe’s secret sauce is vulnerability
This is not the first time Lasizwe has gone viral for leaning into uncomfortable truths. His content often thrives on moments most people would rather hide, from family dynamics to social faux pas. By owning the awkwardness instead of avoiding it, he keeps his audience invested and entertained.
In a local entertainment space that sometimes feels overly polished, moments like this stand out because they feel real. A little messy, very funny, and deeply relatable.
A reminder of why Mzansi loves unscripted humour
The date might not have gone the way Lasizwe imagined, but it delivered exactly what his followers expected. A slice of life, exaggerated just enough to make you laugh at your own experiences.
In a country where humour is often how people cope, this awkward dinner turned viral moment feels perfectly on brand for South African social media. Sometimes the best content comes from situations you would rather escape.
