You can't pause or mute the video, and it blares at volume 50X louder than the actual video itself. The worst ones though are the stupid banner ads (usually with some animated image) that say: REFI NOW GO BACK TO COLLEGE NOW CUT BELLY FAT WITH ONE WEIRD TIP SAVE CAR INSURANCE WITH ONE WEIRD TIP There's usually some picture of a random person staring at me. One has this creepy old guy who nods his head every time you mouse over. The advertisers also recycle the same image and change the message.

As if im going to listen to a guy trying to sell me something when he's walking all over my page. I also hate the Page Redirect adds, especially the one that says you have security alerts. The minute long adds before videos on video players are a pain, too.
