* [[Fanfic]] example: In M. McGregor's ''[http://www.tthfanfic.com/Story-16694/MMcGregor+The+Wonderland+Subject.htm The Wonderland Subject]'', central to which is an [[Intercontinuity Crossover|interdimensional crossover]] between ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and the [[Ultimate Marvel]] universe, Xander and Jean Grey have several instances of mutual squeeing over each other -- he, because he's a big-time comic book fan; she, because she's a fan of a long-running Broadway musical version of ''Buffy'' native to her version of Earth.

** "[[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/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]].

* 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 (TV)|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.
