''[[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 premiered online in spring 2016, and effectively served as
Each episode is usually made up of three or so short sketches, and runs no more than five minutes.
Line 10:
* [[Aliens Steal Cattle]]: In S1E22, Nora hijacks Jaune's board game about making compost and turns it into one about defending and rescuing cattle from alien abductors.
* [[All CGI Cartoon]]
* [[Alt Text]]: Extra jokes and comments suitable to a [[Lemony Narrator]] can sometimes be found in the closed-captioning.
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Sun and Neptune.
* [[American Accents]]: Nora takes on an inexplicable Dixie accent in S1E22 while playing a farm-themed game.
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
** Jaune after Ren's motorcycle blows up in S3E13.
* [[Back from the Dead]]: Pyrrha in S1E6, to Ruby's complete bogglement.
* [[Bank Robbery]]: Ruby manages to commit one accidentally, off-
* [[Big Eater]]: Nora.▼
* [[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''.
* [[Badass Biker]]: They may look like it at first, but the Cousins of Chaos in S3E13 are nowhere near badass.
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[Being Watched]]: In S3E6, Ruby asks Weiss if she ever got the feeling she was being watched.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Ozpin clearly thinks this is what's going on between Winter Schnee and Qrow.
▲* [[Big Eater]]: Nora.
* [[BFG]]: The "Kitten-Killer 9000" rocket launcher.▼
* [[Big Ball of Violence]]: Whenever Winter Schnee attacks Qrow in S3E3.
* [[The Big Board]]: Cinder and her minions have their elaborate evil plan laid out in detail on a huge whiteboard in their dorm room.
▲* [[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.
* [[Big No]]: Yang for Ruby during the pillow fight in S1E19.
** Mercury when Cinder Puppet is burnt to ashes in S3E5.
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
* [[Black Comedy]]: A surprising moment in S1E6, when {{spoiler|Ruby almost [[Cape Snag|hangs herself with her cape]]}}.
* [[Bolivian Army Ending]]: S3E1, just as we learn that there's a [[Road Block]] ahead of the girls, off-screen.
* [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs]]: Run backwards in S3E1, when Cinder traps Jaune and Ren in the back seat of her car:
{{quote|'''Ren:''' It's a trap! She used the child safety locks! But we are neither children nor safe!}}
* [[Bucket Booby Trap]]: Ruby and Weiss trade these in S1E7.
* [[The Bully]]: Cardin Winchester makes no bones about being a bully in S3, and even tries to attach himself to Roman (who's allegedly "a legend in the bully community").
Line 50 ⟶ 53:
* [[Cape Snag]]: Ruby suffers many of the downsides of wearing a cape in S1E6.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Half of Pyrrha's dialogue in S1 seems to be "Hello again!" and "I'm sorry!"
* [[The Chew Toy]]: According to the peek into Zwei's mind we get in S3E8, this is how he sees Blake. Even though Yang has firmly informed him she isn't one.
* [[Christmas Special]]: ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNbG4inP8-k RWBY Chibi: Nondescript Holiday Spectacular]'' from 2020.
* [[Classy Cat Burglar]]: Blake, maybe...
* [[Cold Sniper]]: In one of the few times we actually see Ruby act as a sniper in either this series or ''[[RWBY]]'', she snipes a capsule containing pet medicine right down Zwei's throat.
Line 74 ⟶ 78:
* [[Dream Sequence]]: We get short views of the dreams of everyone in Team JNPR in S3E12.
** And then the same for Cinder, Roman, Emerald and Neo in S3E14.
* [[Dresses the Same]]: In one episode, Team RWBY is attending a costume party where they've all dressed as each other -- Ruby as Weiss, in particular. Cue the arrival of an irate Jaune, also dressed as Weiss, growling, "One of us is going to have to change."
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Nora in S1E13.
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Ruby, in S3E11.
Line 97 ⟶ 102:
* [[Gag Echo]]: In S3E8, Winter characterizes the girls in Team RWBY as acting much younger than they really are, ending with "I'm Yang, let's fight!" After Ruby similarly distorts the adults, we look into Zwei's mind; he characterizes the girls by what they mean to him, ending with "I'm the Yang, let's fight!"
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Neo, much of the time; sadly, being mute and only [[Talking with Signs]], no one notices or listens to her advice.
* [[The Ghost]]: Professor Peach, continuing a [[Running Gag]] from the main series; the girls mention how she is one of their favorite instructors.
* [[Girls' Night Out Episode]]: The back half of S3E5 sets itself up like this, but we only see the preparation (primping at a mirror and shooing out the boys) and the aftermath -- a building on fire, with Yang and Ruby clearly approving, Weiss disbelieving, and Blake stunned with [[Blank White Eyes]].
* [[Good Cop, Bad Cop]]: Neptune and Sun have a little trouble with the roles in S1E14.
Line 113 ⟶ 119:
* [[Homage]]: To the classic ''[[Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner|Road Runner]]'' cartoons in S1E20.
** S2E17 includes an extended homage to ''[[Scooby-Doo]]''.
* [[How the Character Stole Christmas]]: Torchwick employs a "spirit sucker" to steal the holiday spirit from everyone in Beacon in 2020's ''Nondescript Holiday Spectacular''.
* [[How We Got Here]]: Multiple instances in S3E11, starting with an explanation for Ruby's [[Drives Like Crazy]] sequence, and stepping back several more times to show how we got to each previous point.
* [[Hugh Mann]]: Marty and Mike, two Grimm attempting to [[Paper-Thin Disguise|masquerade]] as a pair of [[Totally Radical]] dudes in S3E4, utterly fail to be convincing.
Line 126 ⟶ 133:
* [[Law of Inverse Recoil]]: Watch those gravity rounds, Ruby.
* [[Lemony Narrator]]: Whoever writes the subtitles/closed captions. S3E15 is a good one for that.
* [[Les Yay]]: There seems to be some between Ruby and Penny.
* [[Let's You and Him Fight]]: When the Red Huntress interrupts the Huntsman's peril at the hands of Torchwick and Neo in S3E11, the Huntsman treats her as a supervillain. Actually a subversion, since he knew she'd come to rescue him, but he'd wanted to see Torchwick's new [[Death Trap]] in action first and she wouldn't wait. And subverted in that she welcomes his "undivided attention" and oath to chase her day and night.
* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: In S1E22, Ruby insists the floor of their dorm room is deadly lava, despite (still) looking like a rug. The rest of the team indulges her, getting from the door to their beds without walking on it. Then Roman Torchwick throws open the door, and despite Ruby's earnest (and the rest of the team's bored) warning that the floor is lava, he rushes in. Cue shocked expressions from everyone ''but'' Ruby when he sinks in and burns.
{{quote|'''Ruby:''' I tried to warn him.}}
* [[Literal-Minded]]: Ren, [[Rule of Funny|when it's funny]]:
{{quote|'''Jaune:''' C'mon, Ren, let's go raise the roof!
Line 133 ⟶ 143:
** The entire [[Studio Audience]] in S1E24 is made up of them.
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: Why Weiss and Blake have better ice sculpting abilities than Ruby.
* [[
* [[Lower Deck Episode]]:
* [[Magnetic Girlfriend]]: Literally. Don't try to use a compass around Pyrrha.
* [[Man on Fire (trope)|Man on Fire]]: Mercury in S3E2, after he annoys Cinder with his demands for better working conditions.
Line 141 ⟶ 151:
** 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 {{spoiler|Yang gives her a serious gift, and Blake leaps into the box after emptying it}}.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: During his interview in S3E2, Cinder insists on calling Cardin Winchester "Carin". He tries to correct her, but gives up after an intimidating show of
* [[Neat Freak]]: Weiss, to the point of delighting in her compulsive cleaning. [[Negative Continuity|Except when she's not.]]
* [[Negative Continuity]]: Ruby is boggled by Pyrrha's appearance in S1E6, and alludes to her death in V3E12 of the [[RWBY|main series]]. However, Nora insists it never happened. And at the same time Yang still has both her arms.
Line 211 ⟶ 221:
* [[Something They Would Never Say]]: Weiss does this to herself, sort of, in S2E13:
{{quote|'''Weiss:''' I agree with Yang. ... Oh! That felt strange to say.}}
* [[Spice Up the Subtitles]]: It's not uncommon to get extra jokes in the closed captioning, or even see the captioner acting as a [[Lemony Narrator]].
* [[Spin-Off]]: Of ''[[RWBY]]''. [[Captain Obvious|Duh.]]
* [[Spin the Bottle]]: RWBY and JNPR play it (briefly) in S1E13.
Line 217 ⟶ 228:
* [[Stage Magician]]: Jaune tries to show his chops as one in S2E3, but is constantly upstaged by Ruby.
* [[Sticky Fingers]]: Demonstrated by Blake even as she protests being suspected of being a cat burglar.
* [[Stock Parodies]]: 2020's ''Nondescript Holiday Spectacular'' is a case of [[How the Character Stole Christmas]], but ends with half the cast showing up late and dressed for a ''[[A Charlie Brown Christmas|Charlie Brown Christmas]]'' parody.
* [[Stop Poking Me]]: Yang doesn't ''say'' it, but she ''does'' burst into flame...
* [[Studio Audience]]: S1E24 has one.
Line 230 ⟶ 242:
** Nora waves the occasional "Notice Me!" sign -- once at Ren during a S1 episode, subsequently in one of her inter-skit bumpers.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Weiss asking "How can this day get worse?" in S1E24.
** Everyone
* [[That's What I Call X]]: "Now ''that's'' a katana!" from season one.
* [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself]]: Taiyang in the Escape Room in S3E14.
