Ads slowing down *everything*

I don't know if there's already a post for this, as I'm quite literally unable to check. It's not a problem on my home computer, where I can use Ad Block to prevent them, but the advertising on the wiki is slowing everything down to a crawl. At work, I'm forced into using IE, instead of Chrome or Firefox, and numerous times, Internet Explorer shuts down or restarts. It's only when I'm browsing this site, and as far as I'm able to tell, it's the advertising that's doing it, especially any of the video ads.

There anything that can be done or am I just not going to be able to browse at work? :(

If all else fails, C4.

Apart from the question why you'd browse TV Tropes at work, we actually have a thread here for ad complaints.
