Spending time with friends can strengthen bonds and create unforgettable memories. Instead of mingling with ladies in the area, a few mates chose to watch their favourite cartoon show together in an oddly unique way.
Princess shows and dry cereal
Using the handle @wandileoscar8, a student on TikTok uploaded a video of a group of friends chilling in what appears to be a university residence. While intensely watching the theme song of the international cartoon Sofia the First play, the four young gentlemen snacked on dry cornflakes.
The clip also shows two friends with huge, fake bellies and bottles of cooking oil on the floor.
Providing context to the comical video, the TikTokker wrote:
"POV: Approach a girl or watch Sofia the First?"
Clearly, the guys chose the latter.
"You'll never go wrong with the boys," laughed @wandileoscar8 in the caption.

Clinical psychologist provides insight on men's decision
While speaking to Briefly News, Dr Keitumetse 'Tumi' Mashego (a clinical and sports psychologist) explained that anxiety is about our thoughts, inner voice and questions about self-life and others.
"It presents itself physically as anxiety when we are unable to change our perspective or view or develop rational thoughts. It's usually due to us thinking or dwelling on the worst-case scenario or struggling to develop a realistic perspective and being unable to think of a more beneficial outcome.
"We get stuck believing that only the worst is possible, yet we don't know how things end up until we are there."
Dr Tumi adds that it will be daunting interacting with the opposite sex because the powerful mind creates what we imagine as the ultimate reality.
"Therefore, watching cartoons becomes less threatening than interacting."
Mzansi has questions
The humour-filled video confused many local social media users. Some wondered about the state of the room in which the gentlemen found themselves.
Not knowing where to start, @thembakazi24 wrote:
"I've got so many questions."
@ofentselexie laughed and shared their worries:
"I am more concerned about the opened cereal boxes. Why are they all open?"
Looking for answers, @smoshoffic laughingly said to the public:
"Someone explain the oil and the pregnant guy."
A confused @vizzza._k asked the guys:
"What is this setup?"
The guys watching the cartoon had @yogirl_kylee commenting:
"The concentration is on another level."
@zee548864 found the video "cute" and laughingly wrote:
"They even know the lyrics."
Supportive friends host nappy shower for father-to-be
In another article showing friendship, Briefly News reported about a group of male friends who hosted a nappy braai for a friend who was about to become a father.
The men's support for the father-to-be impressed many online users, and they commended the group for being a source of inspiration.
