what is so wrong with "Switcharoo" exactly?
It's the way he triumphantly announces it, as though taking a late apex in order to get on full gas earlier than your attacker is a rare enough event to deserve its own special moniker courtesy of Crofty™The bloke is a muff.
Swicheroo also always reminds of one of the most entertaining musicians to ever grace the stage: Slim Gaillard. He invented his own language "Vout-o-Reenee" and my email name was inspired by him. Originally it was going to be "Fillerooneywithsomehot sauceonthesideandthatshouldjustaboutfixit@hotmail.com, but I realised that might be a tad laborious.
He had a fascinating life, culminating in being able to captivate an audience better than Croft ever could..., with just his little finger:

To add some culture to this thread. In action. Sublime IMHO:
IIIRC - he had a review of the Sky contract after his health (heart?) issues a few seasons back. His original contract was for the number of races they did then...say 16 weekends and now F1 does circa 49 races across 53 weekends a year. I think that he asked to go back to a more sensible schedule for himself.
.... my memory is a bit flakey here.

Yeah I've read that he's contracted for something like 18 races a year, so he tends to pick and choose these days. With age catching up, heart attack and a gammy ankle, said he’s not so keen on all the travelling. .... my memory is a bit flakey here.
Here's the reasoning behind one of his catchphrases ...

Screaming for Hamilton to be penalised for the first bend incident when it was clearly down to the Astons getting all tangled up, absolutely pathetic
Not the same opinion of another driver:Fernando Alonso said:
Fernando Alonso speaking very clear after his incident with Hamilton: "I'm sure they won't decide anything because he's not Spanish. He ruined the races of a few"

So you're all wrong,https://youtu.be/hwFpBuJ_2NY?si=k6xoIkaIasld2xTe
he claims the start is the only time he doesn't think about what he's saying.

What a foolish comment from Alonso.
It's his normal mentality, and why he always cocks up his opportunities. You can't question his driving skill, but he's always saying stupid stuff and alienating himself. He's always had it in for Lewis, must have stung to get the shock he did in 2007 when he was supposed to be the new star.

Troll
I try to tune him out these days, which is being made easier by the amount of fast forwarding that can be done as very little is happening as MV pulls away at the front in the first couple of laps then backs off to keep the lead at the slowest pace he can.

Never even heard of him before.
But some great work by him.
So much music. So little time .
