Line 107:
* In ''[[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon]]'', Usagi is a big fan of Minako Aino, who also happens to be Sailor V's real identity, though Usagi doesn't find this out until ''very'' late on in this version.
* ''[[Doctor Who]]''
** In the special "[[Doctor Who/Recap/2007 Ci NS Time Crash/Recap|Time Crash]]", the Tenth Doctor fanboys over ''himself'' (the Fifth Doctor). By the end it's pretty clear that it's really [[David Tennant]] and [[Steven Moffat]] [[Awesome, Dear Boy|who are doing it to]] [[Peter Davison]].
{{quote|"Cause you know what Doctor? You were'' my ''Doctor!"}}
** ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/RecapS2/S2 E4E04 The Girl in Thethe Fireplace|I just snogged Madame de Pompadour!]]''
** The Tenth Doctor was pretty star-struck by [[William Shakespeare]] in "[[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S3 E2/E02 The Shakespeare Code|The Shakespeare Code]]".
** And [[Agatha Christie]] in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/RecapS4/S4 E7E07 The Unicorn and Thethe Wasp|The Unicorn and the Wasp]]".
** Waaay back in the classic show's third season, Steven and Dodo literally [[Squee|squeed]] when they found out they were in the Old West.
** The Ninth Doctor got very excited about meeting [[Charles Dickens]] in "[[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S1 E3/E03 The Unquiet Dead|The Unquiet Dead]]".
** The Doctor and Rose meeting Queen Victoria in "[[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S2 E2/E02 Tooth and Claw|Tooth and Claw]]".
** "[[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S4 /E16 The Waters of Mars|The Waters of Mars]]" does an interesting one when the Doctor meets Adelaide Brooke, captain of the first human base on Mars, in [[Exty Years From Now|2059]]. To him, she's another historical figure he particularly admires, and he hates that her death is a [[Foregone Conclusion]] he can't prevent without breaking the laws of time. The audience, not being Time Lords, can't really appreciate this in the same way, whereas it's very obvious how much the Doctor wants to save her, so it's easy to be tempted along with him -- which is of course [[You Can't Fight Fate|the point]].
** [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31 /E10 Vincent and The Doctor|Vincent van Gogh]] can be added to the tally as of the fifth series. Eleven and Amy are no more subtle than Ten and Rose in their squeeing, much to [[Vincent van Gogh|Vincent]]'s confusion.
* In the various ''[[Power Rangers]]'' [[Reunion Show|reunion shows]], the current team will sometimes fanboy the previous, longer-established team. In fact, the [[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|Galaxy Rangers]] even referred to the [[Power Rangers in Space|Space Rangers]] as simply "the Power Rangers" while fanboying. Of course, everyone practically ''drools'' over [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Tommy]], and [[Power Rangers Wild Force|Cole]] went even more gaga over [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|the original Red Ranger, Jason]].
* In ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]],'' [[Sixth Ranger]] Gai is a complete and total [[Super Sentai]] fanboy, and will flip out whenever he meets one of the older team members (and then ask for an autograph). On a couple of occasions they have fun with this; when he meets [[Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger|Abaranger's]] Yukito he fanboys, but then he sees Emiri and says "...And somebody I don't know!", and when the team meets [[Chouriki Sentai Ohranger|Ohranger's]] Momo Maruo, she herself fangirls a little.
Line 138:
** In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'', he can't resist fanboying over Peter Stillman, either, while Raiden is having messy fangasms over the thought of meeting Snake.
** And in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]. Brawl'', he and Otacon fanboy over Captain Falcon for some reason that is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM1TOJuGGh8&feature=related never fully explained ]. <ref> [[Badass|Not that it needs explanation.]]</ref> Snake also shows deep respect for Mario and Luigi.
* The Ouendan of the Japanese game ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]]'' appear wherever they are needed, sometimes for a reason. In ''Ouendan 2'', a pop star is kidnapped, and the Ouendan are there to support fans in reclaiming him because they clearly are fans themselves.
* Morgan LeFlay, Mighty Pirate Hunter in ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]'' is a fangirl of Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate despite her occupation. She is [[Broken Pedestal|more than a little disappointed]] to find out Guybrush operates more through [[Indy Ploy|Indy Ploys]], [[Kleptomaniac Hero|picking up anything that might be useful]], and ''avoiding'' epic fights through clever trickery than the [[Badass]] pirate she seems to have thought he was.
* Ratchet of ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' is like this a few times. He reacts with awe towards a hoverboard champion and is rather excited that the spaceship he is stationed on has a gamestation in the third game.
Line 145:
* ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]''! It's hard not to hear a hint of squee in John Marston's voice when he meets Landon Ricketts.
* ''[[Crisis Core]]'': Zack Fair goes all fanboy at the idea of meeting Sephiroth. "I get to meet a real hero!" After actually meeting Sephiroth, he settles down. Sorta.
* This is the reaction [[Viewtiful Joe]] has when he meets the [[TatsunokovsTatsunoko vs. Capcom|Tatsunoko]] and [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3|Marvel]] heroes in the [[Capcom vs. Whatever|Capcom]] crossovers.
* Adell of ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' is a huge fan of [[Cute Mute|Pleinair]], who is a news anchor in that game.
* Altaïr, protagonist of the first ''[[Assassin's Creed (video game)|Assassin's Creed]]'', has a mild fanboy in Ezio, protagonist of the [[Assassin's Creed II|next]] [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|three]] [[Assassin's Creed Revelations|games]]. They never actually meet, because they were born three centuries apart, but Ezio adopts Altaïr as his mentor and tries to follow in his footsteps and learn from his mistakes.
