Funny, I just tried the vocoder (with spoken words) for the first time last Friday, and came to the same conclusion... at first!
But by checking out some of the vocoder presets I found it to be important to use the proper parameter combination as a starting point and the work slowly to tailor the sound. Tiny adjustments can have a lot of impact, and the parameters influence each other. IOW, I found the parameters having a very small sweet spot. But once you find that it‘s actually pretty good.
PS: Also, I had to set the Filter Cutoff Link (!!) to ON.
