How about the insurance advert Sheila's Wheels?

Any of the Axe ads are pretty Sexists. These ads are both uncreative and stupid (although effective).
However sexism consists of enforcing a gender stereotype in terms of an advertisement.
So some other ads to look at are Victoria's secret, saying a woman's worth is based soley on her sex appeal. In fact you could apply that to almost all clothing/jewelry/perfume ads since they consistently feature young impossibly thin models.
Look at any cleaning product (dish-washing detergent, laundry soap) and you'll notice about a 85% to 15% ratio of women to men. Pretty sexist to say women do all the cleaning right?
How about Enzyte the "male enhancement tablet" are all men's lives dependent on preforming sexually?
For a good antithesis I would use the Dove campaign for real beauty, or the Man Law by Budweiser/ I am Man by Burger King. These campaigns have all got acclaim from the advertising world as well as being praised as socially responsible.

I've never liked those Diet Coke tv adverts where all the women in the office go all horny and drooly over some macho man who for some reason has to flex his muscles or be dressed in a tight top or take his top off and puff out his chest. Not sure if they can be called sexist though.

the trick is to imagine the ad, but with the sexes reversed. For instance, the advery where a lot of women office workers are drooling over some guy mending the road. Imagine if the situation was reversed, and it was a load of male construction workers drooling over a single woman walking along the road. The advert would be considered to be offensive.
You will find this an interesting technique to discover a lot of hidden sexism in adverts.
In particular, many adverts take a male stereotype and make him look stupid.

well have you ever seen a man use washing powder in an ad?
And how often do car ads have a woman driving? Only the ones for small cars.
how often is a dad shown making the kid's packed lunch?
even the gaviscon advert - the cartoon fire fighters - you'd think these days there would be a female - but no.

The majority of TV ads are sexist. The fear of not being accepted by the female side causes more demands. Demands on certain products and equipments in order to inhance sexual appeal. Thats absoloutly sexual.
