Nickelback have become the butt of a new viral sketch that advertises an app, used to deter you from contacting your exes by playing the Canadian band.

The video features a brand new app called Nickelblock. Two friends discuss it's functionality and the benefits of having Nickelback's 'Photograph' blasted at you any time you try to contact any old flames via Facebook or text. 

Nickelback have been the music industry's punching bags for years now but seem to have been taking a serious beating recently. Between the Australian police tweeting a warning at the band for 'crimes against music' and one man's endurance test for charity, listening to Nickelback on loop for 168 hours - if we've got to give them credit for anything, they're great at taking a joke.

Watch the Nickelblock app sketch below

Nickelback recently cancelled their entire European tour including a date at Wembley arena. Chad Kroger was found to have an operable cyst on his vocal cords and therefore needs to rest up so Nickelback can return to these shores and give the mediocre performance of their lives.
