I think we can quantify boringness in this way. The lowest level of boredom is doing something you enjoy, but you`re starting to decide what to do next.
The most extreme form of boredom is where you`re in hell for eternity, an you`ve been tortured from the day you died (if you believe the catholic school version of hell), and you`re no longer tormented by the pain, but tormented by the inability to feel anything else whatsoever, and one day, you find a gun on the infernal ground, and you just keep screaming, pulling the trigger, trying to kill yourself with fruitless results, and you just keep pulling the trigger, over, an over, and over, until the demons make the call that your newfound state of madness is a torture that even they have not begun to imagine, and place a velvet rope around you, so the free citizens of hell can gaze in awe at the sheer lunacy of the human psyche.
I give you the AK scale. From playing Call of Duty 4 for two hours, to watching a Will Ferrell film, respectively.
