Fan Boy: Difference between revisions

== Fictional examples ==

=== [[Anime and Manga]] ===

* Tamaki from ''[[Code Geass]]'' is a member of the Black Knights, who's always Fanboying about his "best buddy" [[My Hero Zero|Zero]].

** And Diethard. So much that, {{spoiler|on his deathbed, he asks Lelouch to kill him with Geass.}}

* During the ''iStart A Fan War'' episode of ''[[iCarly]]'', there is one fanboy for the Sam/Freddie 'Seddie' [[Shipping]] couple who is a textbook version of this. He stands up and shouts "SEDDIE!" over and over. For those with knowledge of the fandom, he's obviously based on one specific [[Big Name Fan]] who became well known for those antics on the creators blog and websites.

* Fanbot from ''[[VR Troopers]]''. Although mostly comic relief with his Hollywood fanboy personality and proved to be a bit clumsy, he was actually [[Not So Harmless|the most powerful monster of the week they faced all season]]. Before fighting the Troopers, he was assigned to destroy a traitorous ally's super powerful robot, which he did [[Curb Stomp Battle|fairly easily]]. JB's normal finishing move (the laser lance) was so ineffective that be it impalement, slashing, you name it, it only tickled to the point where he made a joke about it. JB actually had to hit him with the techno-bazooka to defeat him, [[Nigh Invulnerable|a weapon used against multiple aircraft]] (but repowered his laser lance and attacked the already defeated robot for some reason). His personality was lampshaded when JB said during the battle "sorry, no autographs" and "there's nothing worse than an angry fan". He actually wasn't a fanboy by designed but a giant industrial fan (he killed the other robot by sucking his parts through his blades), so his name was a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|pun on fan]].
