Shorts Review: RWBY Chibi Episode 23
This episode was 4 mins and 49 seconds long with zero promo ads.
“The Great Dust Robbery”
The skit begins on the street with Sun & Mercury walking and going about their own business until Mercury says “My crime senses are going off”.
Mercury is trying to determine in his mind what kind of crime it is and Sun keeps guessing while wearing his fake “pornstache” when it’s revealed that The Dastardly Duo themselves Roman Torchwick and Neo are sneaking behind them while making that Flintstones tip-toe sound.
The two idiots get completely distracted by figuring out what kind of crime it is, while Roman & Neo straight-up rob the store right fucking next to them!
And just when you think Mercury has predicted the crime with his little “rain-dance” number, It turns out a waste-basked was just out of place and the skit ends.
I get that sometimes comedy works when it plays with your expectations but this was one of the worst skits since “Love Triangle“.

“Dance Practice”
Yang & Phyrra begin to have a fun conversation about the dDance they had last semester.
Yang wonders how they were able to improvise a choreographed dance number abruptly out of nowhere and Phyrra shrugs it off.
It then cuts to a small flashback that reveals Ren was their “Dance Coach” who proceeded to give the rest of JNPR a strict dance regimen akin to a drill sergeant giving tough love to his troops.
Ren goes as far as to verbally get under people’s skin and even yells at Jaune for “not losing 7 pounds” and “hiding a bag of chips under his bed” and Nora whines in pain.
It then cuts back with Phyrra and Yang with Phyrra maintaining her composure by saying “We’re just really good friends!” and the skit ends.

“A Slip through time and space”
Ruby gets interrupted from eating a chocolate chip cookie by Nora who asks Ruby to start a pot of coffee in a slow-paced voice.
Ruby begins to get mildly annoyed by Nora making her do every little step to make said coffee and Ruby begrudgingly fills it up with water after doing so.
Nora even annoys Ruby by asking her to pour her a cup while Ruby looks like she’s about to bitch-slap her until Ren stops her warning that she isn’t supposed to have caffeine because she’s too hyperactive as it is.
Ruby points out how this was all “bad logic” due to not warning her in advance and warns him that Nora already drank an entire pot and says to Ren “This one’s on you.”
They go to save Nora who is in some sort of state of caffeinated euphoria like a doped-up druggie getting their fix.
It then does something incredibly random and trippy as the camera zooms by having Nora’s eye zoom in with different people in place of Ruby & Ren.
As they trying to wake her up from what’s transpiring and it stops when it zooms into her bright blue eye and this happens…
The Voice Actress of Nora (Samantha Ireland) is done doing a take and after she takes a sip of her coffee it cuts back to Ren & Ruby and Nora as she wakes up saying that the overdose on caffeine supposedly made her travel to “parallel universes” (that explains the random characters I guess.)
When Nora asks if they seen any of that, Ren is speaking with Ruby’s voice and out of nowhere Zwei fucking speaks with Jaunes voice much to Nora’s shock and the skit ends.
No more caffeine for Nora! Seriously, next time it might end the fucking universe! Also Zwei having Jaune’s voice at the end made me collapse in spasmodic laughter. 😛

It’s official! Nora is Deadpool’s offspring! If Deadpool can slice through comic book pages to get to the cool stuff, or use his white & yellow text boxes to make a bridge over a river of sewage, what’s stopping Nora from destroying all the walls in the universe!? XD
There’s now only one episode left of Rwby Chibi before the vol 4 premiere so it has to have Penny in it. (Or at least Chibi Adam.)
Worst Sketch: “The Great Dust Robbery”
Best Sketch: “A Slip through time and space”
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
