Line #29 ShoutOut/RWBYChibi


1	* Blake [[BehindAStick hiding perfectly behind a coat rack]] is a nod to a Rooster Teeth Podcast episode where Burnie Burns accuses Creator/GavinFree of being able to hide behind a flagpole.
2	* While using Blake's Gambol Shroud in episode 7, Jaune pretends to be a ninja and says "[[Film/CrouchingTigerHiddenDragon Crouching tiger, hidden Jaune]]!"
3	* Yang's weight loss montage is a shout out to ''Franchise/{{Rocky}}'', complete with a remix of "I Burn" in the style of "Eye of the Tiger".
4	* During Ren's TrainingMontage, [[Film/YouDontMessWithTheZohan 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.
5	* Yang and Ruby decide to have a race, with Yang on her motorbike, Ruby on a wagon that's being pulled by Zwei, and Blake as referee. When they mock Weiss for wanting to race on a tricycle, Weiss freezes Yang, Ruby and Zwei at the start line and slowly rides off. Ruby references ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'' when she complains she's now furious instead of fast.
6	-->'''Ruby:''' No fair! I was going to be so fast! And, yet, now I am just furious.
7	* When Weiss sets fire to the "food room", she runs in a circle babbling while the fire alarm goes off, rather like a [[VideoGame/TheSims Sim]] would in the same situation.
8	* Team RWBY's pillow fight ends with Ruby's hammy "death" while groaning "Hurk... bleagh!" like the dying people of fellow Rooster Teeth show ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue''.
9	** Season 2's "The Ride Along" has Neptune reporting a "four-seven-niner" (that fitting to a pilot character, is a suspicious cloud formation).
10	** The "Late for Class" skit is capped off with Ruby yelling the oh-so-familiar "[[CurseCutShort Son of a-]]".
11	* Episode 21 takes all of its sketches from fan-comics, remaking [[http://silenticha.tumblr.com/post/107098634889/imagine-the-video-about-the-friendship-bracelets a sketch about Ruby giving a "friendship" bracelet to Weiss]], recreating most of the ''WebComic/DumbRWBY'' comic [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/134332674169/eunnieverse-so-this-is-the-leader-you-wrote where Weiss writes a letter to Winter about Ruby]], [[http://kinzaibatsu91.tumblr.com/post/95465035029/how-are-we-gonna-sleep-tonight-ive-no-idea making fun of the "Checkmate" attack name]], and using most of the "Cinder Who?" strip from [[http://jumpinjamnamz.deviantart.com/art/BeaconStrips-Cinder-Who-597495286 BeaconStrips]]. The "Cinder Mall" part of the last sketch also has a store known as "Always 17", a parody of Forever 21.
12	* 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 ''Friends'', the gang had the habit of using Monica's apartment to spy on the activities of Ugly Naked Man across the street.
13	* The "Neptune Noir" skit ends with Sun's line, [[Film/{{Chinatown}} "Forget it, dude. It's Chibitown."]]
14	* The "Nurse Nora" skit involves [[spoiler:an unhinged Nora almost taking Magnhild to Ren's legs; the scene is shot to eerily resemble the foot-breaking scene from ''Literature/{{Misery}}'']].
15	* "The Mystery Bunch" skit is a loving nod to ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'', with Team JNPR taking up the roles of Mystery Inc. Complete with stock Creator/HannaBarbera 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.
16	* At the end of the "Junior She-tectives" skit, Pyrrha makes a pun [[Series/CSIMiami while putting shades on, followed by Nora shouting "YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!"]]
17	* "A Slip Through Time and Space Pt. 2" combines both ''Franchise/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".
18	* "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 ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' [[https://youtu.be/hpLtIKHC_GM?t=2m12s PSA]].
19	* "Manly Weapons" has Velvet sport a mustache like Professor Port and proclaims "Respect... the mustache" and pronounces it "Moose-tache", similar to how Vegeta proclaims it in ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged''.
20	* Episode 6 of Season 3 is titled "[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Teenage Faunus Ninja Catgirl]]".
21	** 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 ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''.
22	* "Mysterious Red Button" has Ruby pressing a button, setting it to night. She then does what [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer did when he could change the sun, and breaks the sun after playing with it too much.]]
23	* "Books Fix Everything" is both a sendoff of ''Series/ReadingRainbow'', and features Ruby finding the {{Necronomicon}}.
24	* "Sailor Jaune" has Jaune's attempts to change into the Huntsman costume like Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/WonderWoman, and, as the title makes clear, Anime/SailorMoon.
25	* "In the Clutches of Evil" has Huntsman experiencing his [[Series/Batman1966 Adam West Batman phase]], complete with sound effect bubbles.
26	* "Don't Pet the Grimm" is an extended Creator/DrSeuss {{homage}}.
27	* "Put It In Reverse" showing Ruby's inability to drive is a reference to Lindsay's poor driving record in GTA races. Rather fitting, since Lindsay voices Ruby.
28	* In Weiss' nightmare, the last answer she gives before being called a "know-it-all" is [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy 42]].
29	* 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.
30	* 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 ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlueSeason14''.
31	** The same episode brings [[Franchise/DieHard "Try Hard II: Try Harderer"]]
32	** 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 in between the original RWBY poster's appearance and RWBY Chibi's version's appearance.
