At the shop I spent many teen hours in, Motobecanes were Butterpecans. A bit less charmingly, Gitane was Sh*t-On. Apologies in general but especially if these have been mentioned already.
Someone mentioned Dae Yung. They had an ad that I will try to recite from memory (hey everyone needs a hobby right?):
The Dae Yung Super Hi-Racer Tire Tread is according to mechanics principals to design. Its character are: smoothly on moving when go straight, and strongest grasping when turn the corner. Safety is 100%, as your expect!
Other old favorites include the tagline "What's matter! Why thread come shortage! Is special design by <I forget the name> does so!"
and the bottom bracket advertised as "The Wonderfull More Than You Can Believe It!"
