stultifyingly

In stupefying manner

Stultifyingly describes something done in a manner that dulls the mind or makes one feel stupid through sheer tedium or pointlessness.

The word intensifies boredom to an extreme: The lecture was stultifyingly dull.

It suggests not just uninteresting but actively numbing—an experience that seems to drain intelligence from everyone subjected to it.
