I would agree with "bored with" but "bored of " doesn't particularly sound wrong either. Sorry sitting on the fence but I think both are probably acceptable.

It's 'bored with' or 'bored by'. 'Bored of' is wrong.

One of my absolute pet hates is when somebody refers to something or someone as X off of, as in, so and so off of the tv! It is X from the tv, not off of.
