Line 12:
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Sun and Neptune.
* [[American Accents]]: Nora takes on an inexplicable Dixie accent in S1E22 while playing a farm-themed game.
* [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]]: Parodied in S3E7. And S3E15.
* [[And Your Little Dog, Too]]: Invoked by Torchwick in S1E20.
* [[Arc Words]]/[[Running Gag]]: For ''some'' reason, "Now [this is/that's] a katana" keeps showing up in all kinds of contexts during season 1, and continues to show up in subsequent seasons, including in the ''closed captioning'' for a S3 episode.
Line 18:
* [[As Herself]]: Samantha Ireland is dual-billed as Nora and herself at the end of S1E23.
* [[Ash Face]]: Both Roman and Neo, in S1E20.
** 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-scree, in S3E1.
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[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.
* [[Balloon Belly]]: Nora, multiple times, after demonstrating that she is a [[Big Eater]].
* [[Beach Episode]]: Off-screen, by implication, in S1E14.
Line 54 ⟶ 56:
* [[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 {{spoiler|taking out the tea set and [[Kids Prefer Boxes|curling up in the box instead]]. [[Hypocrite|The punchline is that Blake did this ''after'' being annoyed with trolling concerning her cat like nature]].}}
* [[Continuity Nod]]: In S3E13, Professor Ozpin is briefly shown checking out the "katana" centerfold from ''Ninjas of Love'', as seen in S1.
* [[Cross-Popping Veins]]: Yang in S1E4.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Ruby, at times.
Line 69 ⟶ 72:
* [[Dramatic Gun Cock]]: Somehow, Ruby manages to get one out of a pillow in S1E19.
* [[Dramatic Wind]]: Parodied during the mock [[Showdown At High Noon|"gunfight"]] between Weiss and Ruby in S1E5, with Zwei playing the part of a tumbleweed.
* [[Dream Sequence]]: We get short views of the dreams of everyone in Team JNPR in S3E12.

* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Nora in S1E13.
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Ruby, in S3E11.
Line 86 ⟶ 91:

* [[Finishing Each Other's Sentences]]: In Pyrrha's dream in S3E12, she and Jaune do this constantly.
* [[Flanderization]]: [[Played for Laughs]] with every character.
* [[Freak-Out]]: Ruby does this to Blake after having read her [[Covert Pervert|favorite trashy novel]], calling it "filth". [[Hypocrite|Not that she plans to give it back anytime soon or stop reading it]].
Line 99 ⟶ 105:
** Neo keeps a monstrous [[Death Ray]] in hers.
* [[Hand Puppet]]: In S3E5, Mercury has a Cinder puppet with which he acts out fantasies of her finally realizing his worth as both a minion and a romantic interest. He even has a backup puppet in case the one he's using is destroyed. (Amusingly, the puppet gets its own voice credit in the cast list -- which is Mercury's actor, of course.)
** Both puppets make a re-appearance in a [[Dream Sequence]] in S3E14.
* [[Hard Work Montage]]: A very brief one, of course, in S1E8, as Yang vigorously exercises.
* [[Harmless Freezing]]: Don't invite Weiss to swim with you.
Line 118 ⟶ 125:
* [[Laugh Track]]: The "live [[Studio Audience]]" in S1E24 is really just this.
* [[Law of Inverse Recoil]]: Watch those gravity rounds, Ruby.
* [[Lemony Narrator]]: Whoever writes the subtitles/closed captions. S3E15 is a good one for that.
* [[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.
* [[Literal-Minded]]: Ren, [[Rule of Funny|when it's funny]]:
Line 153 ⟶ 160:
{{quote|'''Professor Ozpin:''' The good news is that the fire is finally under control, and the cats are expected to regrow most of their fur.
'''Qrow:''' Well. You gotta admire their ambition.}}
** In S3E1, Ruby ''accidentally'' [[Bank Robbery|robs a bank]] off-screen. Even ''she's'' not quite sure how it happened.
* [[Not the Way It Is Meant to Be Played]]: What happens with the "Compost King" game in S1E22.
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Cardin's claim when Roman sticks him with a bag of stolen lien after robbing a shop.
* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: The most we see of the giant Grimm monster in S3E15 is its shadow.
* [[Offscreen Inertia]]: Subverted in one S1 episode. Ruby spies Zwei sleeping in the middle of the floor and makes a comment about how lazy he is. We then follow him through a busy day of rescuing other characters and thwarting the plans of evil-doers. He has barely returned to the dorm room and laid back down again in the same spot when Ruby returns and comments on how he "hasn't moved all day."
* [[Oh Crap]]: Ruby's response to Yang's reaction upon discovering her game controller has "disappeared" in S1E4.
Line 176 ⟶ 184:
* [[Pull a Rabbit Out of My Hat]]: Jaune ends the magic show he puts on in S2E3 by pulling ''Velvet'' from his hat.
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Mercury in S3E5, briefly, when Cinder Puppet's sister asks what happened to her twin.
** Also various characters during the [[Dream Sequence]]s in S3E12 and S3E14.
* [[Rattling Off Legal]]: An announcer at the end of Roman and Neo's ice cream commercial in S1E24.
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Ruby and Penny at times.
Line 183 ⟶ 192:
* [[Screen Tap]]: Nora rubs her face against the screen during her inter-sketch bumper sequence.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Nora, as she "explains" at the end of S1E6.
* [[Shapeshifter Mashup]]: Qrow, unintentionally, in S3E12.
* [[Share Phrase]]: Everybody shares everybody else's Catch Phrases, especially in S1E24.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Several:
Line 191 ⟶ 201:
** Ruby finds a copy of [[Cthulhu Mythos|the ''Necronomicon'']] buried under a dead oak tree in S3E7.
** S3E10 has Jaune doing [[Transformation Sequence]]s copied from [[Wonder Woman (TV series)|Wonder Woman]] and [[Sailor Moon]].
** S3E13 opens with a [[Dr. Seuss]] pastiche, complete with Professor Ozpin wearing [[The Cat in the Hat]]'s hat.
*** During this segment Ozpin's briefly shown checking out the centerfold in ''Ninjas of Love''; while a [[Continuity Nod]] to several gags in S1, as he's doing it while wearing the hat it's also a reference to a scene in the 2003 [[The Cat in the Hat (film)|''Cat in the Hat'' film]] starring [[Mike Myers]].
** The "Cousins of Chaos" biker gang in S3E13 is an obvious reference to ''[[Sons of Anarchy]]''
* [[Showdown At High Noon]]: Parodied in S1E5 with a fight between Weiss and Ruby, complete with [[Spaghetti Western]] music and [[Dramatic Wind|Zwei bouncing by like a tumbleweed]].
* [[Sit Com]]: S1E24 is structured as a classic sitcom, complete with a "live" [[Studio Audience]] and [[Parody Commercial|fake commercials]].
Line 213 ⟶ 226:
** Torchwick's claim in a fake commercial in S1E24 that "Neo's Neo" brand ice cream is ''definitely'' not poisoned. The announcer [[Rattling Off Legal]] at the end of the commercial begs to differ.
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Ruby, to the point that she may well run out of ingredients for chocolate chip cookies before she can finish mixing them.
* [[Talking in Your Sleep]]: Jaune at the end of his [[Dream Sequence]] in S3E12. And Mercury in S3E14.
* [[Talking with Signs]]: Neo.
** Nora waves the occasional "Notice Me!" sign -- once at Ren during a S1 episode, subsequently in one of her inter-skit bumpers.
Line 218 ⟶ 232:
** Everyone who's first reaction upon encountering the [[Big Red Button]] in the woods in S3E7 is to push it.
* [[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.
* [[Too Stupid to Live]]: Both Jaune and Sun at times.
* [[Training from Hell]]: Ren puts himself through this upon becoming "it" in a game of Tag in S1E9.
