Used as a sarcastic comment for someone who stated the obvious, using a reference to the famous fiction detective Sherlock Holmes, it can be understood as "No way, you are Sherlock Holmes!" which can actually mean "Of course, you dumbass!".

-It's hot out there.
-No shit, Sherlock!

Similar to 'thank you captain obvious'.
Something you say to a dumbass who points out a completely obvious thing!

Dumbass: "Hey, your head is on fire!"
Smartass: "Yeah, no shit, sherlock!"

No shit, Sherlock

Asshole version of 'indeed'.

Sherlock: It appears as though my obsession with Moriarty has finally gotten the better of me.

Watson: No shit, Sherlock.

*Sherlock proceeds to kick the shit out of Watson.*
