Fat man:Dude, I think I have become fat
Dude:You don't say

literally speaking it is just another way of saying a very commonly and aptly used phrase "NO SHIT". it is when stating the blatant obvious and saying it as if it was just thought of on the spot. It is used to show distaste in a rather sarcastic and underhanded way and if said properly can be funny to no ends.
a master of this would be Christoffer!!
person 1- sir i dont think the bomb exploded
Person 2- what gave that away, the lack of noise? or the lack of mushroom? or the lack of the afterwave?
person3- it was the no mushroom for me.
person4- you don't say!!!

An expression which appears in rage comics as a cartoonized version of Nicolas Cage. The phrase is a response to anything obvious and functions the same as "No shit, Sherlock" and "thank you captain obvious".
Some guy: I'll tell you a big fact.
Me: And... what is it?
That very guy: Stars don't blink! It's the atmosphere that makes stars look like if they blink!
Me: You don't say?
