Answer :

My little brothers like to watch "The Peppy Pirates" on TV, and they drive me crazy! This sentence contains an example of a **comma splice**. A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses (complete sentences) are incorrectly joined together with a comma alone. In this sentence, "My little brothers like to watch 'The Peppy Pirates' on TV" and "They drive me crazy!" are two complete thoughts that should be separated by a period or a conjunction such as "and" to make the sentence grammatically correct.
