History ShoutOut / RWBYChibi

* At the end of the Junior She-tectives skit, Pyrrha makes a pun, [[Series/CSIMiami while putting her shades on. Followed by Nora shouting "YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!"]]

* Episode 24's skit is called "The One With The Laugh Track", a reference to the [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming method of naming episodes]] that ''Series/{{Friends}}'' used. The skit itself involves the girls' room being in a perfect location to spy on the activities of the men's showers, although they only see a naked Professor Port coming out of them. In ''Series/{{Friends}}'', the gang had the habit of using Monica's apartment to spy on the activities of Ugly Naked Man across the street.

--->'''Ruby:''' No fair! I was going to be so fast! And, yet, now I am just furious.

* "A Slip Through Time and Space Pt. 2" combines both ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' (living dolls!) and ''Film/TheMatrix'' (a real world!), the latter, even giving a spoof of the RedPillBluePill speech with "Blue vs. Red and ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' shirts".

* Team RWBY's pillow fight ends with Ruby's hammy "death" while groaning "Hurk... bleagh!" like the dying people of fellow Rooster Teeth show ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''.

* "A Slip Through Time and Space Pt. 2" combines both ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' (living dolls!) and ''Film/TheMatrix'' (a real world!), the latter, even giving a spoof of the RedPillBluePill speech with "Blue vs. Red and ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' shirts".
* "Road Trip": Weiss' incredulous exclamation of "How do you ''accidentally'' rob a bank?!" refers back to the ''[[LetsPlay/AchievementHunterGrandTheftAutoSeries Let's Play GTA V]]'' episode "Christpunchers - Second Coming" where an attempt to wait for a timer to run out leads Michael, Gavin and Jeremy to harass a convenience store, leading Gavin to ask "Are we robbing this place by accident?!" In the same sketch, Yang's last line is "Looks like we're gonna have to jump!", said in the exact same manner as [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Dangeresque]], and Tai's camera has underneath HD "HHDDVVDBVD", a reference to a ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' [[https://youtu.be/hpLtIKHC_GM?t=2m12s PSA]].

* In "Movie Night," two of the movie posters in the background are [[WebAnimation/CampCamp "Chibi Chibi"]],[[WebAnimation/RoosterTeethAnimatedAdventures "That's My Uncle"]] and a solo movie for the Mercenaries from ''Machinima/RedVsBlueSeason14''.

** Another poster to appear during the series is the [[Creator/AchievementHunter Achieve Men]] poster from episode 9 of the original RWBY, but Ray's place in the lineup has been taken by Jeremy. Jeremy had been promoted to replace Ray inbetween the original RWBY poster's appearance and RWBY Chibi's version's appearance.

* "Put It In Reverse" showing Ruby's inability to drive is a reference to Lindsay's poor driving record in GTA races.

** The same episode brings [[Franchise/DieHard "Try Hard II: Try Harderer"]]

* In "Movie Night," one of the movie posters in the background is [[WebOriginal/CampCamp Chibi Chibi]].

* In "The Mystery Bunch," Sun uses his tail to balance himself, but cringes in pain when Ruby runs over it. At the start of ''Manga/DragonBall'', Goku needs his tail to walk and balance properly, and loses all his strength when someone squeezes or grabs it.

* During Ren's TrainingMontage, his push-ups transition from normal, to one-handed, to no-handed, stopping only when he runs out of breath from pushing himself off the ground with puffs of air.

* "The Mystery Bunch" skit is a loving nod to ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'', with Team JNPR taking up the roles of Mystery Inc. Complete with stock Hanna-Barbera sound effects, ScoobyDoobyDoors, the Grimm actually being a masked villain, Team JNPR saying the culprit's name in unison, and [[ThoseMeddlingKids a "meddling kids"]] rant.

* "Sailor Jaune" has Jaune's attempts to change into the Huntsman costume like Superman, Wonder Woman, and, as the title makes clear, Anime/SailorMoon.
* "In the Clutches of Evil" has Huntsman experiencing his [[Series/{{Batman}} Adam West Batman phase]], complete with sound effect bubbles.
* "Don't Pet the Grimm" is an extended Creator/DrSeuss homage.

* In Weiss' nightmare, the last answer she gives before being called a "know-it-all" is [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy 42]].

* "Don't Pet the Grimm" is an extended Creator/DrSeuss homage.

** In the same episode, when Blake is in the corner of the ceiling, it's a dead-ringer for ComicBook/{{Batman}}'s [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/T1GSnipRR3U/maxresdefault.jpg introduction]] in ''Movie/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''.

* "Books Fix Everything" is both a sendoff of ''Literature/ReadingRainbow'', and features Ruby finding the {{Necronomicon}}.
