Huttons Footy Franks commercial from 1981 transferred from Philips VCR LP tape. This commercial features excerpts from footy games being played forward and reverse making it look like the footballers are arguing and in one of the clips the position of one of the players when tackling looked very disturbing when played back and forth. I've reuploaded this commercial in better quality.

An ad for the good old Aussie beer VB "Victoria Bitter" circa 1984, transferred from a Philips VCR cassette. This ad was played for years and I recall seeing it in the early 90s.
