"Duh"

Someone asked me how to say "duh" in French, and all I could come up with were phrases like "bien sûr" or "évidemment", which aren't nearly as colloquial. So what's a highly informal way to say that something is obvious?

I'm most interested in French, but feel free to share examples from other languages if you know of any!
