I'm Your Biggest Fan

"I know you hear this from, like everyone, but I'm your number one fan!" —Rose, Alan Wake

"By Azura, by Azura, by Azura! It's the Grand Champion!" —Universally-hated words uttered by the Adoring Fan, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

"I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me/Papa-paparazzi" —Papparazzi, Lady Gaga

Stock gush over a major celebrity. If this is said by a minor character, expect them to become a Loony Fan (or Ascended Fanboy), though often it's a main character squeeing over someone else. "Number One Fan" is another common term.

Sometimes linked to a visual gag where the person saying it is unusually tall or tiny.

See also Ascended Fanboy and Straw Fan. If taken too far, it turns into an Abhorrent Admirer, or even worse, a Stalker with a Crush. When it's the hero, it is often said to an old, retired character — which can be a great shock to his own fans, who assumed that old man had to be insignificant.

Examples of I'm Your Biggest Fan include:

Anime

• Light's sister says this to Misa (a semi-famous model) in Death Note.
• Sailor Moon: the moment the Sailor Starlights show up and the girls get out their fan club membership cards.

• Booster Gold, needing Sinestro to not do something to protect the space-time continuum, resorts to this. This stops Sinestro long enough for Booster to go squee over him, and persuade him that the time travelers who'd pointed him in this direction had actually been liars who were trying to get him to reveal his fears.
• Knives Chau is noted as this for Sex Bob-om in Scott Pilgrim, although it gets worse
• Juggernaut to Dazzler in an issue of The Uncanny X-Men.

Film

• The Incredibles: Early on Mr. Incredible's Loony Fan Buddy says "I'm your number one fan!" Mr. Incredible tells him he works alone. It doesn't end well because later on when Mr. Incredible meets up with an older Buddy who's now a dangerous villain named Syndrome, now vengeful and obsessed with getting revenge on Mr. Incredible, he tells him this Nightmare Fuel filled line:

Syndrome: Sure it was difficult, but you are worth it! I mean after all... I am your biggest fan.

• An episode of CSI featuring Rascal Flatts as guest stars had a girl hold a piece of evidence they needed (a guitar one of the band was using at the time of the crime). Her room is plastered from wall to wall with Rascal Flatts memorabilia, and she isn't happy when they have to take the guitar.
