Fanboy is a Random! Cartoons short and the pilot episode for Fanboy and Chum Chum.

Plot[]

The short begins at the Super Mart, with Lenny watching a Fanman commercial and turns the TV off just in time to see Fanboy and Chum Chum bash through the door. They're here to taste-test Fanman's Frosty Freezy Freeze flavors! The boys head forward to the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine, but Chum Chum suddenly stops, and spys a machine that makes Ice Monster Bun Buns! Fanboy approaches the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine and woos Fanman, but later sees that Chum Chum is gone. He finds Chum Chum playing with the Ice Monster Bun Bun machine, who lies and says he's getting a cup. Fanboy congratulates his friend and tells him to hurry up. Chum Chum then slips on an Ice Monster Bun Bun, causing him to fly into the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine, where he inflates and takes an amazing fly! The boys crash into the Ice Monster Bun Bun machine, where they say it was amazing. But they don't notice the Frosty Freezy Freeze merging with the ice monster statue-like you know, never mix Frosty Freezy Freeze with Ice Monster Bun Bun. As a result, it turns into an actual ice monster, and the boys are quite scared. But Fanboy puts his Fanman skills to the test and challenges the ice monster to a thumb war. If the ice monster wins, he has to have Frosty Freezy Freeze to finish his legs. He gives Fanboy a frozen fist so he can be safe, and they battle. Unfortunately, the ice monster wins, and Fanboy gives him Chum Chum's Frosty Freezy Freeze cup. But before the ice monster can drink from it, he finds out that it's empty! He gets so mad that he melts, and Frosty Freezy Freeze flood the floor. Fanboy then realizes that Fanman's Frosty Freezy Freeze is totally heroic! He now knows Fanman gave him all the help he needed, and Chum Chum knows to never mix Frosty Freezy Freeze with Ice Monster Bun Bun, and he and Chum Chum continue talking about this as they get some macaroni. The short ends with Fanman screaming one last time "Get it now", followed by Fanboy and Chum Chum onscreen saying the name of Fanboy, along with a "the end" sign taped to Chum Chum's butt.
