Captain Obvious and the World of Yesterday

Someone who's so dumb it's frightening. In other words, a master of the obvious and old news.

Jake: Did you know that crabs is spelled with a "c" and not a "k"?

Joe: Thank you, Captain Obvious and the World of Yesterday.

Thank you, Caption Obvious

When a caption says something so obvious that there is really no need for it at all.

NOVA (No Obvious Value Added)

A NOVA (No Obvious Value Added) is a person who in any social event adds no value to any conversation or activity. They are boring, dull and no fun to have around. There is also such a thing as a Super NOVA.

Man why did you invite Susie to the Super Bowl party, she's such a NOVA (No Obvious Value Added). She just sat there and said nothing with that blank look on her face see whole time. Also see Super Nova

intuitively obvious to the most casual observer

Used in an ironic sense to mean that something is completely obvious, when in reality the exact opposite is true.

"The identity of Asmodean's murderer is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer!" --Robert Jordan

Captain Obvious

A mocking reference to someone who unnecessarily states facts that are obvious or otherwise already known. It is intended as a spurious comparison of the individual to a superhero (e.g. Captain America) treating the individual's grasp of the obvious as though it were something impressive rather than common and ordinary.

Bob: Don't eat too much or you will make yourself sick.
Alice: Thanks, Captain Obvious.
