2	Created by tumblr user [[http://eunnieverse.tumblr.com/ Eunnieverse]], ''[[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/dumb-rwby/list?title_no=148109 Dumb_RWBY]]'' is an AffectionateParody of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', using derpy expressions and various scenes from the show to create wackier alternate interpretations. While its art design is relatively simple, the comic is quite funny in spite of -- [[StylisticSuck and also because of]] -- this minimalism.

5	!!Tropes applying to Dumb RWBY
6	%% * AdaptationalComicRelief: '''''Everybody.'''''
7	%% * AdaptationalDumbass: Depends on the character itself but, well, it's called ''Dumb''_[=RWBY=] for a reason.
8	* AdaptationalJerkass: Ruby casually jokes about Pyrrha's death while talking to Jaune. Twice.
9	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Invoked for the [[RuleOfFunny sake of comedy]].
10	** Ozpin is an idiot who endangers his students for fun, with his initial beginning exam being "Throw the students off a cliff to see who lives", before deciding it was too ''boring''.
11	** Glynda is portrayed as the OnlySaneMan who [[ButtMonkey nobody ever listens to]].
12	** Ruby is a CloudCuckooLander, feeding her dog with a scythe and eating a cookie with her nose.
13	* AffectionateParody: It's very clear that Eunnie watches and loves ''RWBY'', given the number of scenes parodied in the comic, his artwork, and that he owns a Rooster Teeth account. Still doesn't mean any of the scenes are safe from wackiness and BlackComedy.
14	* AllJustADream[=/=]AprilFoolsDay: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/159076374789/eunnieverse-punkedpng-april-fools-this-comic Poor Jaune.]]
15	* AndIMustScream: PlayedForLaughs. [[spoiler:Apparently, [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/142177688169/eunnieverse-dumbdragonpng-expectations-will the Grimm Dragon is permanently stuck at the top of the tower with no way to get down and is fully conscious.]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking He's also getting mocked by his friends.]]]]
16	* ArtShift: [[http://eunnieverse.tumblr.com/post/154765541969/dumbtyrianpng-yeah-ha-ha-ha-youre-a-freaky Two]] [[http://eunnieverse.tumblr.com/post/163792244764/dumbqrowpng-in-all-honesty-i-completely-forgot strips]] feature Eunnieverse's more typical art style, before cutting back to the more usual simplistic style for the punchline. [[http://eunnieverse.tumblr.com/post/170908209798/springmaidenpng-this-comic-is-brought-to-you-by In another]], Eunnieverse's more typical art style is used FOR the punchline.
17	* AscendedMeme: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/134332674169/eunnieverse-so-this-is-the-leader-you-wrote One of the comics]] was remade into the skit "Letter to Winter" of ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'', Episode 21.
18	* AtomicFBomb: Tai upon finding [[spoiler:Ruby's gone and Qrow's gone with her]].
19	* BlackComedy: Eunnie likes taking serious and dramatic moments from the show and find some way to make them funnier. For example, [[spoiler:Penny's dismemberment, Yang losing an arm, Pyrrha getting burned alive, the list goes on...]]
20	* BlatantLies: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/134331551514/eunnieverse-i-dont-care-what-his Seems legit.]]
21	** [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/134793201784 I played it off pretty well.]]
22	** [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/174512206964/eunnieverse-accident-ishpng-he-probably-flung The answer is never.]]
23	* BondOneLiner: {{Pun}}ny ones, even.
24	** "I believe I was very '''[[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/34 up-front]]''' about it."
25	** "'''[[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/42 This]]''' is a crutch."
26	* BoomerangBigot: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/170382390159/eunnieverse-earspng-why-does-she-have-4-ears Eunnie's theory as to why Sienna has 4 ears.]]
27	* ButtMonkey:
28	** Jaune, as usual, gets the short end of the stick '''a lot'''.
29	** Taiyang's appearances mostly seem to like giving him an even shorter end than Jaune; one is him finding out Ruby just left, another is him being compared to Jaune, but sadder, and yet another has ''Zwei'' leave him on a motorcycle.
30	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Jaune attempts to serenade Weiss, only to get shot down immediately. He then determines that he needs to try ''harder.''
31	* CommonalityConnection: Jaune and Taiyang bond over [[spoiler:dead girlfriends.]]
32	* CoolTeacher: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/163795843759/eunnieverse-dumbqrowpng-in-all-honesty-i When Qrow shows up drunk to teach his class at Signal,]] his students think of him as this (with the exception of the [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents very mortified]] Ruby).
33	* CostumeEvolution: Funny enough, this actually gets ''justified'' by Ruby, saying how [[LimitedWardrobe they probably don't want to wear the same clothes every single day while traveling.]]
34	* CovertPervert:
35	** [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/134332667929/eunnieverse-its-probably-a-good-thing-winter If you support the idea those books are all Blake's.]]
36	** [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/26 One wonders what Oscar was thinking about exactly.]]
37	* DamnedByFaintPraise: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/134332674169/eunnieverse-so-this-is-the-leader-you-wrote It's a little hard]] to say good things about [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext someone who eats a cookie through their nose]].
38	* DirtyOldWoman: [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/30 "Well, I'm not super into that, but maybe..."]]
39	* DudeNotFunny:
40	** [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/77 Ruby fails to joke about]] [[spoiler:Pyrrha's death]].
41	** Qrow makes a wisecrack about [[spoiler:Yang losing her arm]], and all the rest of RWB can do is stare in shock.
42	* {{Flanderization}}: As a general rule, character aspects will often be amped up for the sake of comedy. For example:
43	** Pyrrha's love of Jaune turns {{Yandere}}-ish [[spoiler:to the point of following him around as a ghost]].
44	** Nora's violent tendencies are amped up to the point where she gets a double {{Nosebleed}} when [[spoiler:Pyrrha accidentally kills Penny]].
45	** Blake's HeroicBSOD gets massive enough that she starts arguing with a lamp as a result of having no sleep.
46	** Ozpin is perfectly willing to throw his students off a cliff to test them, before deciding he needs to make it more dangerous.
47	** Velvet taking pictures of Sun's chest is taken to its logical conclusion when it's revealed she's been taking pictures of asses all day.
48	* [[GranolaGirl Granola Guy]]: Ren's choice of [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/137223453429/eunnieverse-were-supposed-to-help-pyrrha-not juice.]]
49	* HollywoodOld: Parodied In-Universe. Qrow says that Glynda's too old to [[spoiler:inherit the powers of the Fall Maiden]] because old people can't [[spoiler:be maidens]]. Cinder later expresses confusion about Raven [[spoiler:being the Spring Maiden]] [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike for the same reason]]. Raven is not amused.
50	* HollywoodTactics: Ironwood's best plan is to put two men in a wide-open forest that will soon be filled with dangerous Grimm.
51	* IAmNotLeftHanded: What do you do when your enemy hacks your robotic hand? [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/15 Shoot him with a gun with your other hand.]]
52	* IncrediblyLamePun: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/138628456794/eunnieverse-yang-in-there-guys-bonus-comic Yang cracks a few right here]], likely so her friends won't have negative feelings and attract more Grimm.
53	* InLoveWithYourCarnage: PlayedForLaughs, as Nora apparently has a major crush on Pyrrha during the tournament, complete with {{Nosebleed}} after [[spoiler:she dismembers Penny]].
54	* LamePunReaction: [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/32 It was totally worth it.]]
55	* LiteralMinded: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/135720278559/eunnieverse-breakalegpng Poor Mercury.]] [[spoiler:Well, not really, but still.]]
56	* MetaphoricallyTrue: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/154030230619/eunnieverse-killingozpinpng-she-sure-split Did you kill Ozpin?]]
57	* NoYou: [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/70 "That sounds stupid." "Your face is stupid."]]
58	* NotGoodWithRejection: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/134332554044/eunnieverse-i-may-fall-plays-in-the-distance "I]] [[IncrediblyLamePun may fall."]]
59	* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Yatsuhashi. Not only is he twice as tall as everyone else, his mouth is also closed.
60	** Some characters get the chance to have different jawlines than the others, most notably Tyrian and Ironwood.
61	* OhCrap: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/134332608479/eunnieverse-rest-in-pieces-team-crdl An appropriate]] reaction when a titanic swordsman looks very angry at you.
62	* OlderThanTheyLook: Neo ends up in a lost child center as a result of her youthful appearance. She later kills the guard to get out.
63	* OnlySixFaces: To an absurd degree. ''Everybody'' (with the exception of Yatsuhashi) has the exact same face and exact same facial expression no matter who they are or what they're doing. Then again, [[RuleOfFunny this was probably intentional.]]
64	** Some character get the chance to have different jawlines than the others, most notably Tyrian and Ironwood.
65	* OriginalPositionFallacy: [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/53 "Still think I'm a hero?" "Well, not when you do it to me."]]
66	* PaperThinDisguise: Ozpin wears one to hide from Salem. He even does a LastSecondWordSwap and gives his name as "Oz...car."
67	* RuleOfFunny: Ren taking slime from a lakebed to feed to Pyrrha thinking it's healthy, Ruby eating a cookie through her nose, Blake talking to a lamp; all for the sake of comedy.
68	* RunningGag: Baller, right?
69	* ShipperOnDeck:
70	** [[https://eunnieverse.tumblr.com/post/174723041874/dumbkalipng-no-one-ships-blacksun-harder-than "No one ships blacksun harder than Kali, right now."]]
71	--->'''Kali:''' Are you two married yet?
72	*** [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/27 "Open the door, Kali."]]
73	* ShoutOut: [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/190605300859/eunnieverse-dumbjacquespng-this-comic-is In one of the scenes of Jacques's recordings]], he's wearing the mask of [[Series/KamenRider Kamen Rider 1]].
74	* SneezeCut: [[https://eunnieverse.tumblr.com/post/617765838958854144/thankfully-not-every-mother-is-raven-happy The Mother's Day comic]]
75	* StylisticSuck: Eunnie can draw better, it's just funnier this way.
76	** He even lampshades the minimalistic art style, complaining about how he'll have to redraw the characters to match their Volume 4 redesigns and how it'll take him an hour to do everyone.
77	* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/36 "We can just share. Really. I insist."]]
78	* ToiletHumor: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/134332585174/eunnieverse-ripjaunepng-rip-means-rest-in RIP]] [[FunWithAcronyms (Rest in poop)]]
79	* TotallyRadical: Many characters ([[RuleOfFunny for some reason]]) end up using slang such as "peeps" or "my man".
80	* WhamLine: Parodied when Jaune is about to tell Pyrrha that he got into Beacon by forging his papers.
81	-->'''Jaune:''' Pyrrha?\
82	'''Pyrrha:''' Yes Jaune?\
83	'''Jaune:''' '''I cheated Beacon'''\
84	'''Pyrrha:''' ''[shocked]''
85	* TheWoobie: [[InvokedTrope Pointed out]] in [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/152770433689/eunnieverse-bropng-who-are-you-im-you-but this]] comic to be Jaune and [[spoiler:Taiyang.]]
86	* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: [[http://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/134332653129/eunnieverse-dumbvytalpng Ask the girl with the hammer]] [[AttackAttackAttack to hit people really hard]].
87	* WhenSheSmiles: [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/13 Not even Neo is immune to Oscar.]]
88	* {{Yandere}}:
89	** Pyrrha in a sense of being an [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggeration]] towards Jaune. [[spoiler:[[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/21 Even as]] [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/22 a ghost.]]]]
90	** [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/page/28 "And that's how you were born, Ruby."]]
91	* YaoiFangirl: [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/189313144014/eunnieverse-dumbblake04png-everyones-here Two]] [[https://dumbrwby.tumblr.com/post/190605303094/eunnieverse-dumbyaoi02png-normally-id-rub Comics]] make Blake this.
