I know there are a lot of these people who don't like these adverts and for legitimate reasons, but there's just a simple charm to them that I can't help but like:

PG Tipps - Chimps

This is the secret behind why Santa is always so jolly. It says "Frydenlunds Beer for Christmas". He's plastered. Drunk driving those poor reindeer.

Paul Hogan did years of adverts for Winfield, always with the phrase "Anyhow, have a Winfield.". The company got in to trouble when we first started putting serious health warnings on cigarette packets.

In huge letters on the outside of the packet it said "Warning. Smoking Kills." and just underneath that it said "Anyhow, have a Winfield.".

I like this one, Lucky Strike will help you become fitter and run faster and it protects your throat from irritation and coughing. Those are facts. I miss the days when you just had to light up a Lucky to become a healthy athlete.

The history of grunge fashion is funny and interesting. Someone from one of the early Seattle groups had a dad who was a co-founder of REI, if I'm not mistaken. So part of the fashion came from wearing hiking clothes as hand-me-downs.

I love that one, you can run over whatever you want and not feel anything. Pedestrians, dogs, your mother-in-law, you won't feel a thing. That's the Dodge guarantee. And a blindfolded driving test, that's genius.

Um... not really sure what this is an ad for. It's an old British ad.

Here's what I could find about that, along with some other "outdated" adverts:

In a shameless portrayal of a woman as a sex object, this 1972 advert for men’s shoes advises buyers to keep a woman where she belongs - naked at a man’s feet. (Weyenberg Massagic/Playboy 1972) - Beyond Belief - Shocking Adverts From The ‘Golden Age’ Of Madison Avenue

Naked at a mans feet, I see. I'm sure the women on the forum have some opinions about that.
