Meet Charles Ramsey: Cleveland dishwasher, unlikely hero, sudden Internet sensation.

Ramsey is the man seen in the WEWS-TV video colorfully recounting how he helped save the three Ohio women from captivity after they'd been missing for more than a decade.

The video has gone viral, his sound bites lauded online as classics:

• "Bro, I knew something was wrong when a pretty little white girl ran into a black man’s arms. Something is wrong here."

• "I heard screaming. I was eating my McDonald's. I went outside and saw this girl going nuts trying to get out of her house."

• "You've got some big testicles to pull this off, bro, because we see this dude everyday. I mean everyday."

• "There's nothing exciting about him. Well, until today."
