So, install Ghostery if you don't want those videos playing.
Ghostery (and other web-bug blockers) add an interesting dynamic,
especially if you also run NoScript.
In some cases, the bugs act as triggers for scripts.
I run both Ghostery and NoScript, and there are occasions when I go to a
script-heavy page, and even if I enable all the scripts, things don't
work correctly. For those pages, it can take temporarily disabling
Ghostery, reloading the page (to find more scripts), then doing another
go-around of temporarily enabling all the scripts.
The upshot is that the key script may not even be available until all
the web bugs are loaded.
However, this is very definitely a YMMV thing, and how things behave
depends on how any specific page is coded.
Thus, for the purpose of blocking unwanted or gratuitous Flash (or
blocking auto-run), Ghostery may work from some sites, NoScript for others.
As noted previously, FlashBlock is the most common way. I haven't used
FlashBlock in several years (since I started NoScript), but from my
memory of using it, it does seem to be effective.
