1.  Those Coppertone billboards from the 1960's (a pedophile's frickin'
dream)

2.  "Hi Guy!" mouthwash commercial campaign, early 70's --Scope?

3.  The Gulf "no-knocks" campaign from the late '60s (pixilated people
scooting through town on their butts, the machine civilization a thing
of the past)

4.  "I can't believe I ate the whole thing. (You ate it Ralph...)"
--Alka Seltzer

5.  "Stronger than Dirt" (The Doors, Soft Parade)

6.  any mid-'70s kitchen gadget ad from Ron Popiel 

7.   "Where's the Beef?!" --Wendy's

8.  "Big Brother" hammer toss --Apple

9.   the late '80s "Dr. Zizmor" subway campaign in New York

and the most effective advertising slogan of our time:

10. "The smoking gun may turn out to be a mushroom cloud."
