{{quote|  Voiced by: David Hornsby (Fanboy), Nika Futterman (Chum Chum)}}

The eponymous, hyperactive duo, who live by the rule of no work and all play. They spend most of their free time hanging out in the local convenience store or having all kinds of wacky adventures in their house, which lacks any kind of adult resident. They are both comic book nerds (although much less so than Oz) and get ecstatic about the tiniest things.
{{hardline}}
* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Cloud Cuckoolanders]]
* [[Cool Mask]]: Fanboy has one, although he lacks any real powers.
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Nika Futterman as Chum Chum.
* [[Deuteragonist]]: Chum Chum.
* [[Expressive Mask]]: In this case, their masks are the same color as their eyelids.
* [[Expy]]: Fanboy resembles Sheen from ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron|Jimmy Neutron]]'' in appearance and behavior. His head also resembles Ed's from ''[[Tonic Trouble]]''.
* [[Fat and Skinny]]: Chum Chum and Fanboy respectively.
* [[Fan Boy|Fanboys]]: So much that they wear costumes that make them look like super heroes for all their life.
** Fanboy even names himself after this trope.
* [[Fartillery]]: Chum Chum's underwear "explodes" on Yo in "Prank Master".
* [[Gasshole]]: Both of them are this, but it's more prominent with Fanboy.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: To the point where they are intent on becoming "immortal companions" in "Fangboy". In "Separation Anxiety", their friendship is so strong that if they are apart, it causes a rip in the space-time continuum.
** [[Ho Yay|I don't know about heterosexual...]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Fanboy is Rickety Cricket and Chum Chum is Adam Lyon.
* [[Keet]]
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: From "Total Recall":
{{quote| '''Oz''': [[Pig Latin|Ix-nay on the outside voice-ay!]]<br />
'''Chum Chum''': Fanboy only has an outside voice. He was born that way. }}
* [[No Name Given]] / [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Both of them, though in "Seperation Anxiety" Fanboy reveals his true name, Tobias.
** Though that's just speculation, because the name he signs the letter with is "Lance Corporal Tobias Cranapple Fanboy III" as a reference to dramatic western movies. Whether any of the names used are actually his real name isn't very likely.
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: Both of them, but Fanboy is more prone to this.
* [[Ping-Pong Naivete]]
* [[Phlebotinum-Induced Stupidity]]: Fanboy literally loses his brain in "Brain Drain" and acts like an even bigger idiot than usual.
* [[Reality Warper|Reality Warpers]]
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Fanboy in "Man-Arctica the Ride". The other kids all think it was a girl who was screaming the whole time.
* [[Superheroes Wear Capes]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food|Trademark Favorite Drink]]: Frosty Freezy Freeze, of course.
* [[Underwear of Power]]
* [[You Fail Linguistics Forever]]: Chum Chum.

=== Kyle the Conjurer (aka, Kyle Bloodworth Tomison) ===
[[File:kyle-fanboy-chum_7375.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|  Voiced by: [[Fake Brit|Jamie Kennedy]]}}

Kyle is a snarky, grumpy kid who, depending on the episode, takes the role of either the antagonist or a tritagonist for Fanboy and Chum Chum. He actually possesses wizardly powers, although no one believes him.
{{hardline}}
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: When he and Fanboy are trying to decide which board game to play, his first pick is "Mr. Unicorn's Teddy Bear Dress Up Fashion Show".
** In the "Fanboy and Chum Chum Bible", which is a compliation of ideas Eric Robles wrote down before the show started, Kyle was originally supposed to have a crush on Yo, and although he has never showed any interest in her in the actual series, this could make him [[Ambiguously Gay|Ambiguously Bi]]. 
** When he states that the town isn't big enough for two wizards in There Will Be Shrieks, look at his hand movements.
** In "Fanboy A'hoy!", we get this:
{{quote| '''Kyle''': And will there be decorative soaps with fancy perfumes?! }}
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Kinda.
* [[Badass Cape]]
* [[Braces of Orthodontic Overkill]]: Kyle has fairly normal braces, but they're extremely noticeable due to his large teeth. In "Night Morning", he wears enormous headgear complete with its own train set.
* [[British Teeth]]
* [[Child Mage]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Dynamic Character]]: Probably the only one who got any [[Character Development]].
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Just count the number of threads about him on the Nickelodeon messageboards.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: He gets one in "Lord of the Rings".
* [[Expy]]: Of Harry Potter (Sigmund appears to be his Malfoy), although his attitude is extremely different. 
* [[Fake Brit]]: Jamie Kennedy voices him.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Fridge Horror]]: In his debut episode, Kyle casually references the time where he turned his teacher into food and ate them, meaning Kyle has no problems with actually killing people.
** [[Jossed]]: A later episode revealed he was turned into a sentient flan and Kyle didn't eat him.
* [[Grumpy Bear]] / [[Sour Supporter]]: Depending on whether he's siding with Fanboy and Chum Chum or antagonizing them.
* [[Inept Mage]]
* [[Inferiority Superiority Complex]]: There are hints of this in "Sigmund the Sorcerer".
* [[Magic Misfire]]: Quite a bit, especially when Fanboy and Chum Chum get a hold of his [[Magic Wand]].
* [[The Mean Brit]]
* [[New Transfer Student]]: Well, technically, he was expelled from his [[Wizarding School]], but same thing.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: When the plot demands it. Other times, he's just as quirky as the rest of the characters.
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]
* [[Teacher's Pet]]: In "The Book Report of the Dead", Mr. Mufflin even refers Kyle as "suck-up".
* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: He's casually used the Necronomicon to get out of jams. 
* [[Tsundere]]: Type A. He's always rejecting Fanboy and Chum Chum, but it has been hinted several times that he craves their friendship. Especially in the Sigmund the sorcerer episode.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Fanboy and Chum Chum believe they are best friends with Kyle, even though he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with them.
** Although, in a show where you wouldn't expect there to be any [[Character Development]], Kyle has actually started liking Fanboy and Chum Chum, and he even admits they're his friends in "Sigmund the Sorcerer."

[[File:boog-fanboy-chum_8807.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Jeff Bennett]]}}

A local bully who works in the Frosty Mart convenience store alongside Lenny (although using the word "work" is probably giving him too much credit). He appears to treasure his possesions far more than the people around him and enjoys picking on kids much younger than him.
