From the YouTube help page titled 'Adding sites to a filter list':
As a YouTube content partner, you can filter specific AdSense advertiser domains appearing next to your YouTube videos.
Here's how to filter a specific AdSense advertiser domain:
Sign in to your Adsense account.
On the AdSense Setup tab , click the Competitive Ad Filter link.
Click on the "AdSense for Content Host" subtab halfway down the page.
In the text box, enter the domains that you want to block from AdSense ads.
Enter URL that is displayed on the ad for that website. Enter one URL per line. You can add up to 500 URLs.
Click "Save Changes" to add these sites to your competitive ad filter.
Changes to your filter list should be reflected on your site within 30 minutes.
You could also try the AdSense category filters and competitive ad filters in the Adsense setup area.
To completely turn off ads displayed inside your YouTube videos:
Log in to YouTube
Click your username in the top right of the screen.
Click the 'Settings' link under the 'My Account' header.
Choose the 'Manage Account' link in the left sidebar.
Scroll to the bottom, and choose 'do not allow advertisements': youtube turn off advertising

A filter is provided to block ads by URL or by general category.
