[[caption-width-right:227:Sylvia consults dark spirits for gaming skills.]]
[[http://www.fanboys-online.com/index.php F@NB0Y$]] is a web comic by Scott Dewitt. The comic is centered on two fanboys and one fangirl, each rooting for their own company.
* Lemmy, the {{Nintendo}} fan. The Ditz of the team, don't call Nintendo kiddy in his vicinity.
* Paul, the {{Sony}} fan. Unemployed -for a while- snarker of the team. Previous {{Sega}} fanboy and childhood friend of Lemmy.
* Sylvia, the Microsoft[=/=]{{Xbox}} fan. Never handled a console before the Xbox, came out of nowhere in the second episode but found a place in Lemmy's heart quite soon.
The main characters are supported by their somewhat quirky pets/friends/furniture and run into some well known [[http://www.fanboys-online.com/index.php?comic=25 individuals]] from time to time.
Aside from the adventures of the cast itself, the comic goes off into game themed episodes from time to time, spoofing the more ridiculous aspects of the games mentioned and heading off into NightmareFuel territory more often than not.
The comic is very conscious about itself, regularly smashing through the fourth-wall, especially during the first few dozen of episodes.
[[http://www.fanboys-online.com/index.php?comic=304 The comic basically takes the familiar videogame-styled web comic, blatantly ripping off ideas from other comics, comments about the lack of originality]] and then proceeds to fly off into one situation to another.
The comic is mixed between a soapy overall story arc -- sometimes alluded to -- and a lot of one off comics commenting about (upcoming) changes in the videogame industry.
Not to be confused with the movie ''{{Film/Fanboys}}''. For the similarly named trope, see {{Fanboy}}.

* BileFascination: {{Conversed}} in [[http://fanboys-online.com/index.php?comic=360 this strip.]]
* CerebusSyndrome: The author tried this when people on SomethingAwful mocked his comic for being too generic. The ensuing {{Wangst}} that the characters displayed pissed everybody ''else'' on the Internet off, and he decided to come to a happy medium afterwards. Strip 200 also {{lampshades}} this.

* FanService: [[http://fanboys-online.com/index.php?comic=271 Sylvia cosplaying Midna.]] It looks like she ''doesn't'' wear any clothes, just bodypainting. Not to forget, she wears a skintight Zero Suit [[{{Metroid}} Samus]]-Costume in one Halloween strip and there is a BeachEpisode...no, a beach ''arc''.
