You know the moment. You get really high, catch yourself in the mirror, and suddenly you’re doing the thing — the stare, the slow nod, the quiet “you you’re good you.” Like a De Niro character giving himself a pregame pep talk in a bathroom that smells like rosin. Fordee from Herbistry420 captures this beautifully in this stoner humor short. If you’ve been there, this one’s for you. (You. You’re good, you.)
What Is the “You You’re Good You” Moment?
The “you you’re good you” moment is that instant mid-high where you make eye contact with yourself in a mirror and your brain switches to full affirmation mode. It’s not quite De Niro’s “You talkin’ to me?” — it’s more supportive. More encouraging. You’re looking at yourself thinking, yes. This guy. He’s alright. He’s doing his best. You you’re good you. It happens to cannabis users everywhere, and no one talks about it enough — until Fordee made a whole video about it.
5 Signs You’ve Gone Full Mirror De Niro While Stoned
Here are 5 signs the “you you’re good you” moment has fully taken over:
- You’ve been standing at the mirror for 4 minutes. You went in to brush your teeth. You have not brushed your teeth. You have, however, made very meaningful eye contact with yourself and nodded twice.
- You started speaking in the third person. “That guy right there. That’s a guy who knows what’s up.” Then you realize you’re describing yourself. To yourself. Out loud.
- You can’t remember what De Niro movie you’re referencing. Neither can Fordee. That’s the thing about the mirror moment — it feels cinematic and important, but the source material is fuzzy. Was it Taxi Driver? The Deer Hunter? You’re not sure. Doesn’t matter. The vibe is there.
- You laugh at yourself and then go right back to doing it. The self-awareness doesn’t stop the behavior. You know it’s absurd. You keep going. “You… you. Yeah.” Small chuckle. Nod. Resume.
- You leave the bathroom genuinely feeling good about yourself. Whatever happened in there — it worked. You came out motivated. Slightly confused about what you were originally doing in there, but mentally refreshed. That’s the power of a stoned mirror pep talk.
Why Do Stoners Talk to Themselves in the Mirror?
There’s actually some interesting psychology behind the mirror self-talk phenomenon. Cannabis can heighten self-awareness and introspection — particularly in low-to-moderate doses. THC interacts with brain regions responsible for self-referential processing, which can make activities like looking in a mirror feel more significant or emotionally resonant than usual. Add a touch of the giggles, a little inner warmth, and the fact that your own face is technically the funniest thing you’ve seen all day, and you get the “you you’re good you” moment. Science and stoners agree: it’s normal, it’s harmless, and it’s kind of great.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it normal to talk to yourself when you’re high?
Completely normal. Internal monologue becoming external is a well-known effect of cannabis for many users. Whether you’re narrating your snack search or giving yourself a mirror pep talk, self-talk while high is harmless and often highly entertaining in retrospect.
What De Niro movie is Fordee referencing?
He’s not entirely sure either, and honestly that’s part of the charm. The most famous mirror self-talk scene in De Niro’s career is from Taxi Driver (1976), where Travis Bickle delivers the iconic “You talkin’ to me?” monologue. That’s almost certainly the vibe — just significantly more wholesome and self-affirming.
Has Fordee done this in real life?
He made an entire video about it, so yes. Absolutely yes. And he’s not alone — that’s kind of the whole point of the video. Share it with a friend who definitely does this too.
