No. It bothers you as much as it should. Perhaps not nearly enough.
It also should bother you (as it does me), that those who habitually make this grammatical error think I am being a grammar hick when I use the correct pronoun. They think “to him and me” sounds far less sophisticated than their erroneous “to him and I”. And they snicker. I can still hear them.
@shahnm I was taught to say it in my head without the other person- you would never say “to I” so you wouldn’t say “to him and I”. So just slap that snicker off their faces.
@sammydog01@shahnm YES !!! That is the way I was taught too. It is all I can do to not correct them. Habit, because I corrected my kids and now grands.
I actually did not know this… and pretty much for the same reason that Irk laid out. Makes me wanna’ buy crap-- but not today’s crap. Maybe tomorrow’s crap.
Looks like they re-used previous footage of Irk and heavily edited it to make the mouth ALMOST sync up to the spoken words. Lots of 3+ syllable words are done with just one wide open mouth movement. Look closely and you’ll notice the video seems to be slowed down (1:38) and sometimes reversed/replayed (0:41) in various spots.

CONFIRMED!
This is horseshit. I have removed my star for this “new” video. Was it really easier to edit the crap out of old footage? @dave@matthew explain this shit
With this technology, they can make a spokestroll say any fucking thing now. As of this day, we can no longer trust the spokestrolls. What the fuck is this world coming to? I’ve just lost all faith in humanity (and trolls).
Me am happy too sea a knew video.
Me and I like new Irk videos.
Me, myself, and I agree. It bothers you more than it should.
It bothers me too. Thanks for the new video! It’s even more exciting than a Mehrathon.

They still have the restraining order after the first… incident.
@sammydog01 @shahnm Also them switched to Mars bars.

Ooh yeah, that bothers I too.

@mehcuda67 But then again in a roomful of writers what else is there?

I and I ain’t patient for pedantry, mon.
Goddamnit, @Irk, this is why we love you. Thanks, buddy.
Ironically, the same fuckers mis-over-use “whom”. Assholes.
@joelmw just whom do you think you are to make such accusations?!
@joelmw Oh, hell now me am going to have to review who vs whom use yet again. Or is it usage?
@joelmw @Mothersnakes - This may clear it up:
@Mothersnakes - Try replacing the word in your sentence:
He = Who
Him = Whom
Works in most cases.
I still have no idea.

@medz I’m keeping my star. I expect mediocre videos here.

@medz - Are you sure?
Challenge:
Identify the original video.
@kdemo fairly certain the “Ask Irk! Making a New Video” is the original. That’s the first one I noticed Irk had some hair that was askew.
Also odd that these new vids aren’t listed on the youtube channel… What is going on?
