History WebAnimation / RWBYChibi

After a three year hiatus, the series is set to resume, this time under the banner of the Anthology Series, ''WebAnimation/NeonKobini'' alongside ''WebAnimation/RoosterTeethAnimatedAdventures'' and a set of new series.

* RealityEnsues: As revenge for the BucketBoobyTrap done to her, Weiss freezes a bucket of water that gets dropped onto Ruby. Not only is Ruby knocked out cold, Yang and Blake also are concerned with her being concussed. PlayedForLaughs of course.

* GoLookAtTheDistraction: When Season 2's first episode begins, the title scene starts collapsing around Team RWBY causing Ozpin to intervene. When the girls try to explain that they think they're being sabotaged, Ozpin dismisses them and tells them to go and play in a forest full of monstrous Grimm. When the students later accuse him of sending them on meaningless quests to recover his lost property, he shouts out "Look! A distraction!" before fleeing their presence.

* BattleOfTheBands: A StoryArc in Season 2 features several characters preparing for a Battle of the Bands contest which takes place during the season finale, with most of the Chibi cast forming a musical act.

** Many skits throughout the second season show the characters experimenting with instruments, costumes, catch phrases and special effects in preparation for a Battle of the Bands competition. [[spoiler:On the big day, Team Trouble-Clef (the villains, minus Cinder) play their hearts out until they realise it's not the musical competition they thought it was; it's a martial competition and everyone else's instruments are modified weapons.]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The skit ''The Mystery Bunch'' opens with Sun catching Neptune interrogating a bear plush with Ruby's hair, but the way the scene is set up; along with Neptune claiming that Sun plays with dolls while he doesn't, one would think that Neptune might have been playing with [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar something]] [[ADateWithRosiePalms else]]

* AdaptedOut: Out of the Beacon Staff , Glynda Goodwitch in RWBY Chibi is nowhere to be seen.

* RealityEnsues:
** As revenge for the BucketBoobyTrap done to her, Weiss freezes a bucket of water that gets dropped onto Ruby. Not only is Ruby knocked out cold, Yang and Blake also are concerned with her being concussed. PlayedForLaughs of course.
** When Jaune tries out team RWBY's weapons, the only ones he can handle are Weiss and Blake's since he only knows how to handle a sword. Ruby's scythe throws him off balance because of the weight, and Yang's gauntlets send him flying since the super strong Yang wouldn't be bothered by the recoil.

** In "Kick Off", Mercury's boot guns go off as he's trying to kick the soccer ball, accidentally shooting it instead. The ball deflates and, because no-one brought a spare ball, the game is ended with the first kick of the match. In the show, living things have Aura to protect them from damage, but inanimate objects that are not reinforced by Dust technology behave just as they do in the real world.
** In "Nondescript Holiday Spectacular", Roman attempts to steal everyone's holiday spirit, just like the Grinch does. However, he discovers that stealing the holiday spirit is completely different to stealing a person's ability to be happy for other reasons. Like the Grinch, Roman's heart grows three sizes at the end. [[spoiler:He promptly suffers a heart attack as a result.]]

* BigWhat: Ruby's reaction to when Yang calls her character in Ruby's Red Riding Hood play a "Mary Sue" is a drawn out "What?"

** The shading returns in "RWBY Dreams" when main series Ruby appears, making her feel [[ConspicuousCG out of place]], albeit intentionally, compared to her Chibi counterpart and the background.

** The titular skit of "Dad Jokes" and the "Punished" one in "Grimm Passengers" see this reaction when Yang and Tai start trading bad jokes with each others with Ren, Neptune, and Sun in the former and Blake in the latter deciding to get the hell out of dodge, leaving a catatonic Nora in the former and a resigned Weiss in the latter behind.

* IWarnedYou: In Episode 22, Ruby's playing a game of "The Floor is Lava" and expects everyone to hop on objects to get there. While Weiss and Yang use their Semblance and weapons to get across, Roman Torchwick is just utterly annoyed and tells Ruby she's the first to die. [[spoiler:He hops on the floor and immediately sinks, to the surprise of the rest of Team RWBY. Ruby's response: "I tried to warn him."]]

* TheGhost: Professor Peach's unseen status as such in the main series is lampshaded when Ruby remarks how she's "not around very often".

--> '''Nora''': [[{{Yandere}} I knew my love would cure him!

** The titular skit of "Dad Jokes" and the "Punished" in "Grimm Passengers" see this reaction when Yang and Tai start trading bad jokes with each others with Ren, Neptune, and Sun in the former and Blake in the latter deciding to get the hell out of dodge, leaving a catatonic Nora in the former and Weiss in the latter behind.

* BumblingDad: Chibi Taiyang. His very first appearance cements his status as a PungeonMaster just like his daughter, and a later one has him trying to outdo Qrow in terms of coolness and failing abysmally. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Fortunately, his daughters love him all the same in spite of his awkwardness.]]

* "Tai's Tech Vlog" is one to Taiyang's voice actor Burnie Burns and his regular vlogs. This also extends to Tai crashing a drone trying to get a birds-eye view of Beacon Academy, as Burnie once did while filming the RT office.
