Go the F to Sleep Story Time: 5 Funniest Moments

Go the F to Sleep story time is the full 12-minute episode where Fordee takes multiple dabs back to back, then attempts to dramatically read the classic adult parody book Go the F*ck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach. The result is everything you’d hope for: escalating stonedness, genuine literary commitment, philosophical asides, and one extremely anticlimactic ending. This is “Once Upon A Dab” Episode 01 — and it is a masterpiece of stoner content.

What Is “Go the F to Sleep”?

Go the F*ck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach is one of the most beloved adult parody books ever written. Styled like a children’s bedtime book — pastoral imagery, lullaby rhythm — but filled with the unfiltered frustration of an exhausted parent. It was a viral sensation when published and has since been read aloud by Samuel L. Jackson in an audiobook edition. Fordee’s stoned version is arguably equally dramatic.

Go the F to Sleep Story Time: 5 Funniest Moments

1. The Brain Boot-Up Analogy

Before even opening the book, Fordee delivers an accidental masterpiece: “It’s like your computer needs to start… I want to talk and it’s like wait, I’m booting, and then it gets like the prompt — but I already typed it while it was booting but you can’t press enter because it’s not finished booting so that is gone.” This is the most accurate description of being too high to speak that anyone has ever produced. The go the F to sleep story time hadn’t even started and it was already comedy gold.

2. The Budget Critique of the Illustrations

Fordee pauses mid-reading to critique the artwork: “They went light on this page… I think they kind of running out of budget guys, can you do like a half picture? It’s like a f**king mouse with like a few pieces of grass.” Then on the child in a parachute: “Why is the kid in a parachute? Is this the kid’s dreams or how high is the fool who wrote this book?” Literary criticism at its most elevated.
