''[[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 a[[Rooster Teeth]]'s [[Summer Replacement Series]] for ''[[RWBY]]'', with weekly episodes scheduled all the way until the premiere of ''RWBY'' Volume 4 on October 22, 2016. A second season began on May 13, 2017, running during the break between V4 and V5. And a third season premiered on 27 January 2018, after the end of ''RWBY'' Volume 5. While it has yet to see an official fourth season, ''RWBY Chibi'' has continued to appear via Rooster Teeth's [[Animated Anthology]] series ''[[Neon Konbini]]'', which premiered on May 27, 2021.
 
Each episode is usually made up of three or so short sketches, and runs no more than five minutes.
Line 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-screescreen, in S3E1.
* [[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 31 ⟶ 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.
* [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]]: The "Kitten-Killer 9000" rocket launcher.
* [[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 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...
Line 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 132 ⟶ 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.
Line 226 ⟶ 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 Thethe 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.
