* Mickie James' original gimmick in [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] was as Trish Stratus's creepy stalker fan. Oddly enough, since Trish retired, Mickie's actually developed into Trish's [[Expy]]. One might think this is continuity in action, but [[Negative Continuity|continuity has never been WWE's strong suit.]]
* More recently{{when}}, Beth Phoenix has picked up one of her own in Rosa Mendez.

* Seymour in ''[[Sinfest]]'', -- an ultra-religious character who goes around chiding people for not being pious enough. God [https://web.archive.org/web/20070517043839/http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=94 refers to him] as his "loony fanboy." The devil [

* The webcomic ''[[Fans]]!'' (a comic which itself focused on fans of various sci-fi/fantasy shows) played with this concept when it introduced the character of Tim the Fanboy, a geeky stereotypical "fanboy" who was a near-obsessive fan of the main characters. Unfortunately for them, once he realized that they weren't perfect, he felt betrayed and in turn betrayed them to become the 'fan' of a psychopathic time-travelling warlord who was doing her very best to wipe them out of existence.
* Mike from ''[[Something*Positive]]'' before his redemption. His stunts include trying to steal a tuft of Gary Gygax's beard, breaking into Nichelle Nichols's hotel room and begging her to marry him, and somehow setting fire to Steve Jackson.

* ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' has Sonette, who, along with changing her name, has sneaked into Sonic's room while he was sleeping and stolen merchandise from him. She also is frequently seen with a piece of Sonic's chewed gum in her mouth.<ref>Sonic had earlier claimed that he doesn't chew gum, which leads to speculation on whose gum that really is.</ref>
* In the "Cold Slither" episode of ''[[G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Comics)|G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]]'', Scarlet, Cover Girl, and Lady Jaye ''disguise'' themselves as Loony Fans of the band to get close to them, and manage to slug the rather surprised Dreadnoks into submission when they do so.
