The fan of the Loser Protagonist (or mild equivalent) is almost always oblivious to that character's real troubles and failures. This is more amusing when the idolized character is already established as the show's ditz or Unlucky Everydude. When the idolized character becomes aware of this, it will prompt an embarrassed conversation explaining they're not anything special. And then his friends will chime in, a little too enthusiastically. Naturally, this only serves to make the fan more enthusiastic. Occasionally, the fandom is impressed by this lack of Comedic Sociopathy and makes them an Ensemble Dark Horse. See also The Knights Who Say "Squee!". Contrast Warts and All. For aversions in games where a character is instead hated by the audience for their ineptness, see the low-tier examples in Low-Tier Letdown. Not to be confused with the fandom of a certain cartoon superhero dog. Examples |

The more outspoken, zealous fans of the character Lemongrab of the show Adventure Time tend to be this IRL, as they tend to overlook the painfully obvious fact that the character, though he is downtrodden, is a complete asshole to everybody around him. | |

Varric in Dragon Age is a storyteller who enjoys putting his characters through the wringer. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, he mentions to Blackwall that he likes the beaten underdog more than the flawless hero, as you want them to pull through that much more. It's also hard not to picture him thinking of Hawke, his closest friend, while he's saying this. | |

Naruto: Hinata Hyuga is partly defined by her shyness, partly by her kind, gentle personality, and partly by her love for the titular character who eventually loves her back. However, the trope itself is subverted, because Hinata is completely aware of Naruto's shortcomings, and yet she admires him exactly because he has the determination and self-confidence to change them. Ironically, Naruto is a fan of Rock Lee for being an underdog like himself. |

Practically the entire relationship between Rincewind and Twoflower in the Discworld novels The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, and Interesting Times. Twoflower is incredibly naive, and a few off-the-cuff bravado remarks by Rincewind have cemented him in Twoflower's eyes as a great wizard, despite the fact that he can do no magic whatsoevernote Over the course of the series, he casts spells exactly twice — one of which was a self-aware spell that basically cast itself from his mind, and the other being a very simple spell cast at extreme effort at a time of extreme need. That said, Rincewind is still a genuine wizard, with all the other perks and traits of one (except for knowing when he'll die, but that's because Rincewind's timeline is so screwed up that even Death does not know when Rincewind will die). and his talents rely entirely on running away from things. The most cynical characters on the Disc like Granny Weatherwax, Sam Vimes, and Angua, vehemently fight for the underdog despite also hating the underdog (because even underdogs are right bastards most of the time) due to having been ostracized themselves, and they've taken it upon themselves to put as much good possible out into the world. |

According to The Victors Project, the Hunger Games have inspired their own Football Hooligans in the Capitol: the Fighting Fives for District 5 and the Sixatrons for District 6, who are the two districts that go the longest without ever crowning a Victor, until the 26th and 28th Games, respectively. In the latter case, the Gamemakers rig the games, so the District 6 tribute can win, because the Sixatrons keep rioting when the District 6 tributes are killed. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Fans of Luigi have shown up on more than one occasion. In Paper Mario 64, one of Koopa Koot's requests is for Luigi's autograph. In Super Mario 64 DS, one Toad in the basement is a huge fan of Luigi. He has a Power Star that he won't give it up unless you talk to him as Luigi. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, one trouble you can take on is a request by a member of the Luigi Fan Club, specifically to see Luigi in person. |

Meiling of Cardcaptor Sakura acted as such to The Rival Syaoran. While Syaoran wasn't exactly undermined by the rest of the cast (especially not Sakura herself), he was the Butt-Monkey and an unofficial candidate for Master of the Cards with the rest of the band rooting for Sakura. Meiling spent the entire first arc rooting for Syaoran and trying to help him capture the Clow Cards. | |

In Hawkeye, Kate Bishop states that Hawkeye is her favorite Avenger, and that he was the one who inspired her to become an archer. She was in awe of the man who was not afraid despite the fact that he was fighting aliens that came through a hole in space with little more than a stick and some string, and who jumped off the roof of a building even though he couldn't fly. It lead her to believe that if he wasn't afraid, she didn't have to be, either. | |

Recess had Gus (the underdog, and general Unlucky Everydude of the series) being idolized by a kindergartener named Hector who called him "Safety Man" and believed him to be the coolest of all the older kids on the playground. In a later episode when Gus does become "cool" in the eyes of his peers, Hector is the one who tells him he was more respectable before as "Safety Man." | |

Jareth in Roommates to a ridiculous extent. He roots for all people who aren't treated well / fairly in / by their story (no matter how ditzy or otherwise flawed they may be). The guy ended up with the "Unwanted" as court theme! One of his minions (Socks) was a fan of James, who is the biggest Woobie in the series. While the guy has the qualities for a hero but not the narrative (he is The Lancer at best)... and his fan (albeit unwittingly) "died" for making him one. In quotes because death is not so simple there. |

In Deadman Wonderland, Senji (AKA Crow) is shown to take a huge liking to Ganta (partly because Ganta defeated him, but that was mostly by a fluke), even though Ganta showed himself as being quite a coward and weakling. | |

In Identity Crisis (2004), Ralph Dibny recounts how he and his wife Sue met. He and The Flash had shown up at some fancy event and saved everyone there. A-lister Flash had nearly everyone's attention — everyone except Sue, who was immediately interested in B-lister Ralph. Ralph claims that's one of the reasons Sue is so special — despite being surrounded by superheroes with heroic builds and chiseled good looks, she's never had eyes for anyone but Ralph. | |

Aatrox from League of Legends is this...sort of. He sides with various underdog forces throughout history, inspiring them to fight with untold fury and revel in combat and bloodshed... until the Unstoppable Rage wears off and the victors think about what they did. | |

South Park has Pip, Butters, and Dougie who are all "Melvins" prone to bullying at school, and so often act as their only friends. Stan and Kyle occasionally Throw the Dog a Bone as well (so long as no one else is around). | |

Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket could be considered a straight take on this, she's easily the cat of the zodiac's biggest fan (this includes Kyo). She's not so much oblivious of his faults as understanding that there are some serious underlying causes. When she heard the legend of the zodiac as it's usually told she explicitly declared the cat her favorite for exactly this reason before she even met him. | |

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, one trouble you can take on is a request by a member of the Luigi Fan Club, specifically to see Luigi in person. | |

One episode of Hey Arnold! combines this with Warts and All. The chronically unlucky geek Eugene discovers his favorite superhero's actor is really a Jerkass and abandons his usual attitude in order to "go bad." Unfortunately, there's a younger kid who looks up to Eugene, and suffers a similar sense of disillusionment at Eugene's change. (In the end, though, both get a happy ending after being rescued from near-death by the previously-nasty actor.) | |

Walter from The Muppets (2011) is the muppet personification of this trope. He loves The Muppets regardless if they have been out of the loop for 30 years and has an unbridled admiration for them. Case in point: he finds Fozzie Bear genuinely funny. | |

Milo of Pepper Ann only cheered for the school team when they were on a losing streak, his mantra regarding sports being "choose to lose." Once they started winning, he quickly lost interest. | |
