A person who is overly obsessed with a certain company or franchise and will defend it from any person who dislikes it no matter what. To see a person that likes a company or franchise, but isn't completely obsessed with it, see fan.
Two friends are having a conversation at the mall.
Friend 2: Dude, have you seen the latest Smosh video?
Friend 1: Nah. I used too like Smosh, but now they're just recycling jokes to make more money.
*Another guy hears Friend 1's complaints and runs up to him*
Guy: SMOSH ISN'T RECYCLING JOKES!!! THEY'RE STILL ORIGINAL AND WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN YOU'VE EVER BEEN IN YOUR LIFE, YOU IGNORANT JERK!
*The guy runs away from the two friends, screaming and yelling*
Friend 2: Yeesh, what a fanboy.
Friend 1: Yeah, he was so butthurt. At least I'm not as fanboyish as hi- OH MY GOD IS THAT A NEW POKEMON GAME? I LOVE POKEMON!
Friend 2: I don't know why I'm your friend.

Someone who worships a company, brand, concept, idea etc... to the point where they will not be capable of listening to statements disagreeing with their view.
The term itself is most commonly used on forums discussing "nerdy" topics.
It is often connected to nostalgia, and also often follows with hardship of argumenting for their own view, seeing as how they haven't had a reason to for themselves.
Jack: View {X} is correct.
John: I disagree with that opinion, I feel that View {Y} is correct.
Jack: You are wrong.
John: I feel that view {Y} is correct because of arguments {a},{b} and {c}.
Jack: You are wrong, view {X} is correct, because it is better.
Jack is the fanboy.

a Fanboy seems originally a term applied to anyone into comic books, sci-fi, or other 'odd' hobbies. Now fanboy is typically reserved for over the top fans of comic books that dress as their favorite heros, and star wars fans, who seem to do the same.
I wasn't about to wait in line for five hours to see the new star wars film, not with all those fanboys standing there in their stormtropper costumes!

A person who is a fan of a particular game, brand, band, movie or any part of popular culture to the point where it becomes a way of life for them. Arguing with a fanboy is ultimately futile, as no matter how many well-articulated facts you put to them that may criticize said game, band etc. they will take it as an insult, almost as if you're insulting their child. DO NOT, under any circumstances, engage a fanboy in an intelligent discussion regarding the flaws of their favored hobbies as it will only result in one-sided arguments that you have no chance of winning.
Fanboy: I believe that Halo is one of the most amazing games to grace this earth.
Level-minded individual: Well it's not all that good, certainly not the way you're making it out to be.
Fanboy: How dare you! You're nothing more than a troll to disrespect this work of art. Go back to your cave....

A fanboy is a male person who's a big (kinda obsessive) fan of something. Fanboys often tend to know everything about the subject they're a fan of. When someone accidentally talks about the subject a fanboy is a fan of while the fanboy is within hearing distance, then that someone should run. RUN!
Someone: I just saw the first episode of my hero academia. It was kinda fun.
Fanboy: *20 feet from the conversation* DID SOMEONE SAY MY HERO ACADEMIA!?
Someone: *screams* NO! *whispers* Dude, we have to go. There's a... A f a n b o y near us
Friend of someone: Oh shi dude
Fanboy: *appears behind the two dudes who were having a conversation* Hi! So, my hero academia you said?
The two dudes: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
