* The [[ShowWithinAShow fictional TV show]] ''Steel Samurai'' in the ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' games has a few of these, as well as its spin-offs like the Nickle Samurai and the Pink Princess and rival show Jammin' Ninja. Maya is a huge fan of all of these and is always dragging Phoenix into the mix, and in the third case of the first game, we meet Cody Hackins, a kid who obsesses over the show so much that he photographs all of the Steel Samurai's finishing moves and refuses to believe that the Steel Samurai would lose a fight/get murdered.
** And seconds after making that edit, this troper found out Cody's Japanese name, Kyuuta Ootaki, is a similar to that of {{Otaku}}.

* During the ''iStart A Fan War'' episode of ''Series/{{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 BigNameFan 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 [[NotSoHarmlessVillain 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 [[CurbStompBattle 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, [[NighInvulnerable 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 [[IncrediblyLamePun pun on fan]].
