Michael Cole makes jokes all the time. He does seem more over the top with it on Raw, but on Smackdown, he's a lot more subdued. "Unwatchable" is a pretty subjective term, because I've never once thought about not watching a match just because Cole was on commentary.

I think we can all agree that he's not doing anything that he's not supposed to do, or he'd be yanked from the booth immediately. As far as "getting himself over", how many times over the years did Jerry Lawler step into the ring and win matches that he had absolutely no business winning? That puts people over WAY more than some dude on commentary talking shit.

I feel that Michael Cole has been highly entertaining since his "transformation", so I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's "not working" just because you don't like it.
