RWBY Chibi

RWBY Chibi is what happens when you take RWBY, throw out the plot, make the cast Super-Deformed, and just decide to revel in utter comedy.

It's available from both the Rooster Teeth website and YouTube (delayed a week) as a series of video shorts, typically 3-4 minutes.

"Ruby: How are you even here? Pyrrha: What do you mean? Ruby: I mean, I watched you d... Nora: NOPE! Neeeeever happened!"
 * Arc Words/Running Gag: For some reason, "Now [this is/that's] a katana" keeps showing up in all kinds of contexts.
 * Back from the Dead: Pyrrha in episode 6, to Ruby's complete bogglement.
 * Big Friendly Dog: Zwei, though it's mostly the perspective change that make him look bigger, but Blake does not feel the same and goes to insane lengths to hide from him.
 * Bad Liar: Blake's attempts to deny being a cat burglar would work better if she weren't stealing things as she makes her denials.
 * Balloon Belly: Nora, in episode 8, after swallowing an entire cake whole.
 * Behind a Stick: Blake is very good at this.
 * Black Comedy: A surprising moment in episode 6, when.
 * Bucket Booby Trap: Ruby and Weiss trade these in episode 7.

 * Catch Phrase: As of episode 8, Pyrrha's dialogue mostly seems to consist of "Hello again!" and "I'm sorry!"
 * Classy Cat Burglar: Blake, maybe...
 * Comedic Sociopathy: Weiss seems to exhibit this at times.
 * Comically Missing the Point: Yang actually does try to sincerely apologize for an earlier trolling of Blake by buying her a big box with a new tea set, hoping Blake likes the gift. She does, but only after
 * Deadly Prank: Well, not exactly deadly, but Weiss' revenge for Ruby's Bucket Booby Trap certainly isn't harmless.
 * Dramatic Wind: Parodied during the mock "gunfight" between Weiss and Ruby in episode 5, with Zwei playing the part of a tumbleweed.

 * Eyelid-Pull Taunt: Weiss gives one to Yang when Yang runs out of Dust rounds during a sparring session.
 * Face Fault: Blake on occasion.
 * Fall of the House of Cards: Poor Ruby.
 * Flanderization: Played for Laughs with every character.
 * Freak-Out: Ruby does this to Blake after having read her favorite trashy novel, calling it "filth". Not that she plans to give it back anytime soon or stop reading it.
 * Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress: Afflicts Ruby frequently during her attempts at cooking.
 * Green-Eyed Monster: Ruby is more than a little jealous of Weiss and Blake's ice sculpting abilities.
 * Hachimaki: Both Ren and Ruby wear one in episode 9, as Ren trains to be worthy of being chosen "it" in a game of Tag.
 * Hard Work Montage: A very brief one, of course, in episode 8, as Yang vigorously exercises.

 * Mundane Utility: Blake's weapon makes a nice jump rope.
 * And the flames Yang emits when angry are great for roasting marshmallows.
 * My Instincts Are Showing: Subverted.  Blake doesn't even get to finish telling off Yang for getting her a ball of yarn as a joke gift before Ruby is rolling on the ground playing with it.  Played straight as a Brick Joke when.
 * Neat Freak: Weiss, to the point of delighting in her compulsive cleaning.
 * Negative Continuity: Ruby is boggled by Pyrrha's appearance in episode 6, and alludes to her death in V3E12 of the main series.  However, Nora insists it never happened.  And at the same time Yang still has both her arms.
