Line 14:
* Played for laughs in ''[[Darker than Black]]'' (and maybe a little torpedo aimed at shippers). [[Sassy Secretary|Kiko]] is portrayed as slightly crazy anyway, but her crush on "Li" tops all other quirks. She almost jumps on him with [[Squee]], loudly insults her "rival" Kirihara, and generally attracts unnecessary attention... which is somewhat disconcerting for her hero, as "Li" is the facade identity of a lad who ''earned'' his nickname "Black [[Shinigami]]".
** Hei has another one in the [[OVA]], Mayu, with the added bonus that she manages to connect his identities ([[Bunny Ears Lawyer|thereby beating out the entire police force]]) and starts [[Stalker with a Crush|actively stalking him]].
* Gokudera from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]''. He frequently goes off to beat people up for Tsuna's sake, and [[Stalker with a Crush|follows Tsuna around]] trying desperately to be his "Right Hand Man." Although the funny thing is that his attempt to replace the hero was actually his initial feeling, and that it's ''after'' being [[Defeat Means Friendship|defeated]] by Tsuna that he becomes his
* {{spoiler|Kasaya's girlfriend Eri}} from [[Zetsuai 1989]] goes so over the edge that {{spoiler|she tries to stab her idol Kouji because he's about to go into retirement}}
* Arguably the basis of the 1998 anime film ''[[Perfect Blue]]'' (unarguably, a
* {{spoiler|[[Stalker with a Crush|Toto Sakigami]]}} of [[Deadman Wonderland]] is apparently this toward {{spoiler|the Wretched Egg}}.
* Lecto from [[Magical X Miracle]] has a series-long obsession with Yue (as well as great admiration for Merleawe for being so close to him), to the point where things get... [[Ho Yay|awkward]]. However, this turns out well for both of them; Lecto eventually becomes an in-series [[Promoted Fanboy]] as one of Yue's top aides, and his nerdy personality quirks and stalker-like obsession settle down after Yue puts him through three years of [[Workaholic]] boot camp.

* In ''[[The Incredibles]]'', the villain Syndrome was once a young
* Robert DeNiro's roles in ''[[The Fan]]'' and ''The King of Comedy'' fit this trope as well.
* The Kid in the ''[[Matrix]]'' sequels is portrayed as a mild example of this.
* From the ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]]'' series: The radio show callers in ''The Curse of Michael Myers'', Harold in ''Resurrection'', Chett in ''Halloween II'' (2009).
* In [[Blades of Glory]], Jimmy having one of these is kind of what causes the plot to kick off, but in a surprisingly non-scary way in spite of some of the creepy things that the

* Played for laughs in an episode of ''[[Friends]]'', where Brooke Shields portrayed a
* [[Sarah Silverman]]'s character in ''[[Monk]]''.
* The ''[[Jonathan Creek]]'' episode "Danse Macabre" featured am obsessed fan who followed a horror writer from the US to the UK and eventually {{spoiler|cut the head off her dead body and carried back to America with him}}.
Line 52:
* An episode of music group [[S Club 7]]'s TV series featured an annoying fan that was at first obsessed over Bradley and then later Rachel.
* Joxer from ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' initially. Xena gets a handful of other "I've studied your every move!" (sometimes followed by "Now we must fight with knives!") type of meetups, but they're generally not the following-around kind of groupies.
* In one episode of ''[[Dollhouse]]'', the title organization is hired to protect a rock star from a
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' mini-episode "Time Crash", the Fifth and Tenth Doctors accidentally meet. Ten, delighted, immediately recognizes his former self, but Five takes him for an obsessive fan and is most annoyed.
* [[The Amanda Show]] had Penelope Taynt (played by Amanda, herself), a nerdy fangirl and webmistress of her own Amanda fan site (which actually exists!)

== [[Video Games]] ==
* Sakura Kasugano was referred to by Ken as 'Ryu's stalker', and not only does she have similar moves her alternate costume in ''[[Street Fighter]] IV'' has her dress almost exactly like him. Frightening.
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls|Elder Scrolls: Oblivion]]'' you'll gain an adoring fan after winning the title of Arena champion. While he arguably qualifies as a loony based on his ranting and his willingness to follow you [[Mordor|anywhere]], unlike a typical
* Shepard gets one in ''[[Mass Effect 1]]'' by the name of Conrad Verner. Paragon Shepard can let him down gently, Renegade Shepard can physically assault him. If the player doesn't have enough charm or intimidate points to do either of the above, he'll run off and get killed trying to prove himself.
** In [[Mass Effect 2|the sequel]] he shows up again and says that you assaulted him, due to a save error that assumes you took the Renegade option. Since that point he's taken to dressing in a replica of your armor and acting like you did in the first game with side quests and looting. If you manage to talk him down, he'll go back to a normal life; if you upset him, he'll [[Undignified Death|fall into a sewage treatment plant's turbines]].

* Seymour in ''[[Sinfest]]'', -- an ultra-religious character who goes around chiding people for not being pious enough. God [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=94 refers to him] as his "loony fanboy." The devil [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=373 thinks God needs a better representation] and likes to [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2244 make fun of him]. He has [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1003 his own lame-ass fanboy] as well. Who writes "[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2194 Devil Fanfics]". These two [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1182 tend] to be [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2305 funnier] together. Monique [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2204 tried to play] a crazy fangirl, but wasn't ready to go far enough to be believable, so she... ''outsourced'' this.
** A third fanboy was recently introduced for the third creator
* 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.
* Piro and Largo's characters in the [[Show Within a Show|Endgames]] videogame-world of ''[[Megatokyo]]'' acquire a loony fan; Largo promptly [[Funny Moments|throws him off a cliff]]. As for the regular world...most of the main female characters have vast legions of stalkery fans at varying levels of creepiness (some are just obsessive, others are obsessive about collecting [[Panty Shot
Line 134:
** In the comic version, he [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|specifically denies having broken into Calculon's house at night and transfused their oils so they'd always be together]].
* Katrina Rad in ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'' episode "Magic Clock". She follows the group around everywhere so she can write a blog entry about them, but she's ''really'' [[Yandere (disambiguation)|crazy]] about Roba.
* [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]] has Sonette, who, along with changing her name, has snuck 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.
