yawnfest

Dull beyond belief

A yawnfest is something tediously boring—an event, movie, meeting, or experience that induces yawns: The conference was a total yawnfest.

The word blends yawn with -fest, a suffix indicating an abundance of something.

Often used dismissively: I tried watching it but it was a yawnfest.
