There's no easy answer to this - at least, none that I can determine. Safari isn't very configurable, and I can find no way of disabling images and animation. Same goes for Camino. In Firefox, there's a global preference which stops images from loading, but I just tried it on http://news.bbc.co.uk and the result was a mess of overlapping text.
In iCab, you can press command-semicolon to stop all animations. I used iCab as my default browser for years, not least because of its image filtering options, but at present (a final release has been pending for a loooooooong time) it can't handle CSS layout, so I can't wholeheartedly recommend it. Might be worth a look, though: it's a small download from http://www.icab.de .
BTW, some of these ads use Flash, but most are just animated GIFs.
I haven't tried Opera or Mozilla in OS X (oh, and I just remembered there's another browser called Internet Explorer - I'd forgotten it existed) so I can't comment on those.
