"Tsst" is the seventh episode in the tenth season of the American animated television series South Park. The 146th episode of the series overall, it originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on May 3, 2006. In the episode, Liane has problems controlling her son Cartman, and enlists several reality television shows to help with his problematic behavior.
After Cartman gets into trouble at school, Liane admits that she cannot control her son anymore. She turns to several behavioural experts, but their attempts to curb Cartman's behaviour are unsuccessful. Desperate, Liane turns to Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer. Millan doesn't treat Cartman as a human child, instead using dog-training techniques. Millan's methods are extremely effective, leading to intense frustration from Cartman. After a period of time, Cartman's behaviour improves, although he himself feels as if he is not in control of his own actions. As Liane enjoys her more flexible lifestyle, Cartman plots to kill his mother, although he cannot go through with his plan. With Cartman's behaviour now in-check, Millan returns for a final visit. Liane thanks him and invites him on an outing, which he declines because he sees her as a client and not a friend. As her son was previously her friend, Liane asks Cartman to join her on the outing. After he refuses, Liane persuades him to spend time with her, saying he can have anything he wishes, and Cartman returns to his old self.
IGN's Eric Goldman gave the episode a score of 8.0 out of 10, writing: "While not among the terrific episodes that began the season, this was a very fun installment of the show, and a nice spotlight on Cartman and what it might take to finally make him obey." When asked if he was offended by his caricature on the episode, Cesar Millan stated that he thought it and the entire episode was "fantastic".
