* AWeightyAesop: Say Foster Farms is always promoting the "Imposters" to point out how healthy, fresh and natural their chicken is:
** Foster Farms chicken is never frozen.
** Foster Farms chicken is corn-fed.
** Foster Farms chicken is saltwater-free. (Say
no to plumping!plumping!)

California-based poultry company '''Foster Farms''' has made multiple commercials centering on the ''Foster Imposters'': two saltwater-injected chickens who spend their screen time claiming to be Foster Farms chickens (or try to become so). They've been around since 1993, but Foster Farms still actively makes commercials about them. Their goal [[EatMe is to become some human, ''any'' human's dinner]] - which usually involves (but not always) lying about being or trying to become Foster Farms chickens.

* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: In many commercials, the Imposters are subject to rejection from mothers who are grocery shopping, and those mothers often have babies or children with them who also reject the Imposters in favor of Foster Farms chicken.

Added DiffLines:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: The Imposters' goal to get eaten has so much wrong in it because:
** [[MenAreTheExpendableGender They're both male. Humans only eat female chickens, or hens for their meat, because roosters don't taste as good as their female counterparts.]] In real life, you may not want to know what poultry plants do to the unwanted, "garbage" male chicks.
** They try to market themselves to humans without even being de-feathered and [[AnArmAndALeg de-limbed]].
** They apparently anticipate getting killed and cooked, but thoroughly enjoy life itself mainly through eating junk food and sipping on sodas.
