A very old short silent film starring Charlie Chaplin. I kind of wish it had included some of that organ music that occasionally accompanies silent films.
Public Domain. It's too frickin' old not to be.

1939 cartoon screen ad featuring Snap, Crackle, and Pop promoting Rice Krispies cereal.
YES, IT IS FROM 1939 so quit asking me if that's correct. It was shown in movie theaters before the movie since most people didn't have TVs back then.

1989 ad from India for Bajaj scooters. If you look closely, there's a red swastika on one of the scooters. However, the swastika is and has been a sacred symbol in India before Hitler or Nazism came about, so I don't think it means anything in the context of this commercial.

I remember seeing this ad in Mexico when I was a kid. They were having some promotion where you had to collect the golden caps which you could redeem for Pepsi products. One of my favorite parts of Mexican commercials are the little reminders you see written at the bottom about eating nutritious food and such.
