An extreme fan or follower of a particular medium or concept, whether it be sports, television, film directors, video games (the most common usage), etc.
Known for a complete lack of objectivity in relation to their preferred focus. Usually argue with circular logic that they refuse to acknowledge. Arguments or debates with such are usually futile. Every flaw is spun into semi-virtues and everything else, blown to comedic, complimentary proportions.
Known for using the phrase
"Object of affection = Best Ever"
However, while people only really say that as hyperbole, fanboys truly believe it.
Troll the internet to spread the gospel.
Insult/chastise others for using public forums to express an objective opinion, no matter how constructive or, respectful it may be. (Go ahead and admit that it's a good game/movie/etc. This fact and anything else will be promptly ignored in favor of cherry picking the negative, and beating you over the head with it.
Tend to resort to petty annoyance replies when backed against the wall. Usually grammar attacks and non-replies.

"Final Fantasy VII is the best RPG ever!"
"Ocarina of Time is the best game ever!"
"Linux is the best OS ever!"
"Xbox is the best console ever!"
"Dragonball Z is the best show ever!"
The sad thing is, fanboys don't realize, that these companies that fuel their passion, don't really give a damn about us. To me, defending a multi-national corporation like their your own family, is ridiculous. These organizations don't come to your house and help you when you're sick, they don't help you move, or drive you to the airport. They don't support you in any way. It's a business, not a friendship. As soon as you can no longer buy their product, you disappear to them.

Get the Fanboy mug.Toxic people who can't take a joke and are total idiots.
They tend to go on Xbox's twitter and comment the ps5 is better in every way.
They also tend to hate people who like Nintendo because, they seems that it's "kiddy."
They always say that Sony makes the best consoles and has the best exclusives.
When Microsoft or Nintendo gets great games, usually the fanboys will go full reetard mode, and make themselves look like dickheads.

Get the Minecraft fanboy mug.A person, usually a man between the ages of 18-40, who could've possibly cured cancer, world-wide famine, poverty, or written the next great American novel if they devoted half the time they spend riding Marvel's dick to something actually important.
Can be observed either
A) Relentlessly defending Marvel against ANY criticism(imagined or not)
or
B) Personally insulting and/or otherwise getting genuinely upset at people that don't think Marvel(Cinematic Universe) is THE #1 entertainment entity, in all or most ways. Will unironically accuse anyone of divergent opinion regarding Marvel of being a "DC fanboy" even if said person has never read comics. Rumored, but unconfirmed to masturbate to Disney-stocks they don't even own.
How these guys find the time to work a job, sleep, or even wash their hands is a question for the ages, considering there is literally no time they cannot be seen knob jockeying online. *See IGN comment sections*

Regular Person: So I just got back from seeing *insert latest Marvel movie here*, and it was good but...
Marvel Fanboy: In all fairness nothing in the entire universe is perfect, so you're just nitpicking.
Regular Person: No, I would've just preferred if they...
Marvel Fanboy: So you're saying you could've made a better movie?
Regular Person: What? No. I'm just giving my opinion as a viewer...
Marvel Fanboy: Funny. I didn't see you "just giving your opinion" on the Batman Vs Superman article. You're obviously a full of shit troll.
Regular Person: Well, that's because I didn't see Batman Vs Superman...
Marvel Fanboy: LOL wow great fucking logic! Found the DC fanboy! *Tells "Martha" joke for the quadrillionth time while fantasizing getting spit-roasted by Stan Lee and Walt Disney*

Get the Apple Fanboy mug.A sweeping, exaggerated and often ludicrous sports statement that a fan makes when under the influence of an emotional sports event (and perhaps various substances).

Fanbole (pronounced FAN-buh-lee) - If you see a shortstop make a diving stop and throw out a runner, you might say: "That's the greatest play I have ever seen." That would be a fanbole. It might be the greatest play you ever saw, but it probably isn't. In that moment, it feels that way.
If you see the Kansas City Chiefs give up against the Philadelphia Eagles like they did on Sunday, you might say: "This is the worst football team in the history of the NFL." That too would be a fanbole. The Chiefs are terrible, but they are probably not the worst team in NFL history. Probably not.
You call a player the worst ever, a coach a genius, a general manager an idiot -- these are probably fanboles.
