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. |

4 | ---- |
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. |
