To solve your immediate problem: I use AdBlock Plus for Firefox, and I don't get those video ads that you do. I also disable it on AllTheTropes. Try that setup, it'll fix your problems.

As to everything else, sometimes a simple image ISN'T useful. The old image for Jedi Mind Trick just shows one of the hand positions used to do the trick, and doesn't actually illustrate its effects. You NEED to see it in action for it to be illustrative. Same for Mugging the Monster; all it shows is one guy's knife being bigger than the other. It doesn't show the setup and payoff that's essential to the trope.

YouTube is shit, I won't deny that. If it helps, I can always upload them to my personal account on DailyMotion.
