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.
 * Butt Monkey: Almost everyone takes turns being this trope. Special cases of this go to:
 * Blake, concerning how her cat like nature tends work against her concerning Zwei.
 * Weiss, whose love of quiet and cleanliness are doomed to be constantly destroyed by Ruby.
 * Pyrrha, whose magnetic powers are more an albatross than a benefit.
 * Cape Snag: Ruby suffers many of the downsides of wearing a cape in episode 6.
 * 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.
 * Epic Fail: Ruby's attempts to cook go so hilariously wrong in every way.
 * 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.
 * Harmless Freezing: Don't invite Weiss to swim with you.
 * Hollywood Giftwrap: Several times -- every time a present is given.
 * I Am Not Left-Handed: Weiss believes herself the victor in a fight because Yang ran out of ammo for her weapon.....and forgets Yang can simply punch her.
 * Incendiary Exponent: Yang sets herself on fire when she gets angry.
 * The Jimmy Hart Version: An arrangement of Yang's Image Song "I Burn" made to sound like "Eye of the Tiger" in episode 8.
 * Law of Inverse Recoil: Watch those gravity rounds, Ruby.
 * Living Shadow: V1 black silhouette background characters are invoked, examined and lampshaded in one sketch.
 * Loophole Abuse: Why Weiss and Blake have better ice sculpting abilities than Ruby.
 * Magnetic Girlfriend: Literally.  Don't try to use a compass around Pyrrha.
 * 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.
 * Never Say "Die": Insisted upon by Nora in regards to Pyrrha:

"Ruby: Now that's a katana."
 * No Fourth Wall: When Ren asks if the cast wants to keep doing comedy segments after an unexpectedly serious moment passes in episode 6.
 * Porn Stash: What Blake's favorite book effectively is, all by itself.


 * Rule of Pool
 * Slasher Smile: Nora, as she "explains" at the end of episode 6.
 * Shout Out: The Elevator Gag is a blatant Final Fantasy VIII reference.
 * Showdown At High Noon: Parodied in episode 5 with a fight between Weiss and Ruby, complete with Spaghetti Western music and Zwei bouncing by like a tumbleweed.
 * Sticky Fingers: Demonstrated by Blake even as she protests being suspected of being a cat burglar.
 * Stop Poking Me: Yang doesn't say it, but she does burst into flame...
 * Sweet Tooth: Ruby, to the point that she may well run out of ingredients for chocolate chip cookies before she can finish mixing them.
 * Training from Hell: Ren puts himself through this upon becoming "it" in a game of Tag.
 * Unstoppable Rage: From Jaune, of all people, after his attempts to call Weiss for a date suffer apparent Epic Fail.
