Charles Ramsey became an overnight internet sensation in May 2013 following his candid and animated local news interview after helping rescue three kidnapped women in Cleveland, Ohio. His charismatic delivery, mentions of eating McDonald's, and the iconic phrase 'Dead giveaway!' immediately caught the internet's attention. Beyond the heroic nature of his actions, his expressive storytelling style made the interview prime material for remixes and image macros. Today, the meme is used to highlight moments of obvious realization or situations where something is clearly out of place, maintaining its status as one of the most memorable viral news moments of the 2010s.
