Yes, NoScript can do that, but I'm not sure the exact details.
In HTML5 video I think you will need to use a
surrogate script like follows to inject a style: (warning: untested)
Code: Select all
noscript.surrogate.youtube_mod.replacement : let selectors=['.video-annotations'];window.addEventListener('load', function(){let s=document.createElement('style');s.setAttribute('type','text/css');s.innerHTML = selectors.join(',\n')+'\n{ display: none !important; }';document.head.appendChild(s);}, false);
noscript.surrogate.youtube_mod.sources : @.youtube.com
That one is supposed to block video annotations, I don't know if it would work as-is on those ads as well. If not you will need to use the inspector (Tools > Web development > Inspect) on one of those ads to find the right selector (take the class attribute and prepend a '.' to one space-separated portion)
If needed you can add other selector as follows: change the "selectors=['.video-annotations']" part to "selectors=['.video-annotations', '.other-thingie-i-dont-want']"
For Flash video try just add this ABE rule to noscript options > advanced > ABE > USER
Code: Select all

If that blocks video ads too and you don't want that, try changing '(?:ad|iv)' to just 'iv' and see if the ads you do want blocked are still blocked.
