Why was nobody suspicious of Mr Satan?

This is one thing that has been bugging me for years. In DB everyone is thankful to Mr Satan for saving them from Cell yet nobody for a second wondered how somebody who wasn't even able to break a full set of tiles could beat a monster who destroyed a whole bunch of buildings on live TV and destroyed the military with ease. You could answer that with "he convinced everyone that Cell was just using cheap tricks." but that raises another question. Why was he considered a hero for saving the Earth from smoke and mirrors?

Cause everyone in DB has the same IQ as Goku's age and don't remember anything past one arc back.

Everyone simply thought, like Mr. Satan temporarily did, that Cell managed to do those things with hidden weapons. They didn't actually believe that a being could do those things on his own, just using its innate strength.

Therefore, they thought that Mr. Satan managed to beat Cell in martial arts and kill him, before Cell's weapons destroyed Earth.

I think it's quite possible that the media's coverage of the event did more to convince the public of Mr Satan's heroism than the man himself ever could.

Because Mr. Satan is their Guiding Shepard in a world full of bleating sheep.

Mr. Satan protects the world from those who would use deception to drive them into terror.

Because everyone is an idiot, with exception of the King, of course.

No, Videl was like everybody else until Gohan showed up.

I believe she mentions something about how her dad's stories always seemed suspicious.

But she still believed them and thought her dad was stronger.

That doesn't mean anything. Videl still believed that her daddy saved the world. Gohan showed her otherwise.

Yeah, she was suspicious, and she realized Gohan was the one who beat Cell on her own (I think), but wasn't like the King and the announcer who definitely knew better.

She believe him, but there was always some doubt. She wasn't as blind as the vast majority of the rest of the world.

But then again, that was much later. Videl realized RIGHT after Gohan transformed into SSj2.

Videl had never actually seen someone stronger than her dad fighting (in front of her). She only doubted him because she was stronger than him and he always seemed to exaggerate his strength. But, when she saw Gohan get somewhat serious, she was absolutely sure than her dad didn't kill Cell.

The King and the announcer had already seen much stronger fighters fighting. That's why they didn't believe Mr. Satan.

The rest of the world can be divided into two categories: the ones who had witnessed in the past fighters stronger than Mr. Satan, but still believed him (aka stupid people), and the ones who had never seen anyone stronger than Mr. Satan fighting, so they had no reason to doubt him, and believed, instead, that Cell was using hidden weapons to destroy the cities and the army.

The people of Dragon Ball have shorter memories than goldfish. They also mysteriously forgot about that ancient demon's reign of terror, that alien invasion, and that robot attack.
