Dr. Gerald Lincoln, the real thing, coined this phrase back in 2001 He's a Scottish scientist. He was researching hormonal changes in animals and thought, you know what? I think this translates to human dudes. I'm kidding. It's why dudes get grumpy for no reason. So chicks would get PMS. Guys would get IMS, irritable male syndrome.
So here at the Hammer and Nigel Show, we thought, okay, maybe we could come up with a pill for that. Oh, here's the latest from Hammer and Nigel Pharmaceuticals.

Is he suddenly yelling at the thermostat, complaining about grocery prices, telling everyone to get off my lawn? Ask your doctor about grumpitor. Grumpitor may reduce yelling at clouds, suspicious thermostat adjustments, and the uncomfortable urge to say, Back in my day. Side effects may include excessive sighing, falling asleep in the recliner, forgetting why you walked into a room, and yelling at the TV.

Do not take grumpitor if you're already taking common sense. Grumpitor, because apparently everything is annoying now. What happened to Pat Sajak?
Hammer (1:19)
