[[File:
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.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Cloudcuckoolander
* [[Cool Mask]]: Fanboy has one, although he lacks any real powers.
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Nika Futterman as Chum Chum.
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
* [[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]]''.

* [[Fan Boy
** Fanboy even names himself after this trope.
* [[Fartillery]]: Chum Chum's underwear "explodes" on Yo in "Prank Master".

* [[No Indoor Voice]]: From "Total Recall":
{{quote|
'''Chum Chum''': Fanboy only has an outside voice. He was born that way. }}
* [[No Name Given]] / [[Only Known
** 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.

* [[Underwear of Power]]
[[File:kyle-fanboy-
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.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[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]].
