Vitale is to color commentary what New Direction is to pop music - vapid, mindless, repetitive, overwrought, and appealing exclusively to the lowest common denominator.
I found Vitale's schtick compelling once. About 20-25 years ago. The more games I heard him do, the more obvious it became that he represents the part of American pop culture I absolutely despise. Superficial, commercial, dumbed down, mistaking obnoxious catch phrases for wit.
Sure, there are those who will still like him. But those aren't people who I would ever take seriously for their taste.
