    Cartman has a point that Ceasar's way of "rehabilitating" is abuse, Those people in nanny shows and Ceasar Milan are practically the same, "Nanny 911" seems to treat children there like "pets", There's no such thing as "Pack leaders or the most dominant person in a family, Children just need to learn how to respect and behave, sure children can be hyperactive at times, Parents think that they are out of control, But for kids it's simply playing games, nannies or caretakers can't change their behaviour, only their parents can change them. Children don't need discipline at these situations (like spanking them when they did something bad etc.) they need counseling, parents need their children to understand that what they did is wrong, if they use physical discipline, kids might think that they're parents hate them which causes them to behave more badly.

    Also don't think that giving what they want can stop their whining (like when they want candy/food etc.)It only makes things worse, like Cartman's mom, Lianne keeps giving Cartman whatever he wants when he wants it. She seems to let Cartman take over her life. Since Lianne keeps giving Cartman anything he likes cartman thinks that he should get everything he wants.

    liane tries to change cartman's behavior once and for all, by having "The Dog Whisperer" come. at first, it seems cartman really has changed, but is it just a ploy? is cartman really a nice boy?

    funny episode. cartman yelling at the way he was treated was funny and the plot was great. only negative thing i have was the nanny eating her own.. you know. I found that really gross, but othrwise this was a really funny episode with a great plot that made me wonder what was to come, so "Tsst" gets a B+ in my book. Greatmoreless

    This is a wonderful episode! It was a lot like the actual show too. Ms. Cartman tried every possible nanny to try to control Eric's bad behavior and finally has to resort to using the Dog Whisperer. He has her drag Cartman around on a leash and everything. Treating him like a dog was the only way to get him under control. And it would have worked, except as soon as he left she went right back to spoiling him, letting Cartman go back to his old self that everyone both loves and hates. A very funny episode that everyone should watch, whether you like the show or not.moreless

    I love South Park and Cesar Millan. But I don't understand why I have to write at least 100 words on here. I just want to see this episode and laugh with Cartman's sentences and want to see either how is painted Cesar Millan. I love to see his show, here in Spain. I think he is great, and so intelligent, and so sexy and...well. This is so boring. How long must I've been still write down? counting 78 words now...and still could't see this episode. I thought this will be easier, what a waste of time. I think this is toomoreless

    When Mr. Mackey and Principal Victoria think Cartman is too out of control, Liane plans to put Cartman on the show Nanny 911. The nanny thinks he is too out of control also, she quits. The best part was when Cartman called her a "Fat b****". That was the best. Then, Liane calls in Super Nanny. After 3 days, Super Nanny is put in a mental hospital where she spends her day eating her own crap. Then, Liane calls the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan. The episode name is "Tsst" because everytime Cesar and Liane pinch Cartman on the neck, they make that sound. Cesar treats Cartman like a dog. When Cesar brings KFC, and Liane doesn't give him any, he runs away. He goes to Stan's house, where Stan, Kyle, Butters, and Kenny are at. Cartman plans to kill his mom and frame Token. When he can't stay with any of them, he goes to Jimmy. When he claims Jimmy is his best friend. Then, after that fails, he goes to Craig. Craig hates him and Cartman lives on the street for 4 hours. At night, he decides to try to kill his mom. He didn't though. He started acting nicer, and lost some weight. Then, when Cesar left, Liane felt depressed and started to have Cartman control her life again. Overall, I give this episode a 9.4.moreless

    • (Liane cries when telling Mr. Mackey about Cartman's behavioral problems) Cartman: (to Mr. Mackey) Well, nice going, asshole! You made my mom cry! Liane: It's not him, it's you, Eric. I don't know what to do with you. Edit
    • Liane: Eric, how would you like to go with me to see Madame Butterfly Friday night? Cartman: No, that's okay, besides I've told Stan and Kyle we can work on our science project then. Liane: Well, what if I took you to Kentucky Fried Chicken afterward? And then we'll go to Target, and I'll buy you a Mega Ranger. Cartman: Could I perhaps have two Mega Rangers? Liane: Yes, darling. You can have anything you want. (she hugs him) Edit

    • Contact: The first part of the transformation Cartman goes through, where ghost-like images of Cartman's face appear and repeat lines from earlier in the episode, is a reference to the 1997 film Contact. This marks the third time the series has mocked this film, the other times were in Tom's Rhinoplasty and Cancelled. Edit
    • Return of the Jedi: In the scene where the first nanny becomes extremely angry, Cartman says "Yes! Let the anger come! Strike me down while you can!" This is a reference to Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, when the Emperor tries to turn Luke Skywalker to the dark side by inciting anger in him. Edit
    • Saw and Saw II: When Cartman says that he handcuffed a kid's ankle to the flagpole, said he poisoned his milk, and that he needed to saw off his leg to get to the antidote is a reference to the movies "Saw" and "Saw 2". (The part about the poisoned milk is the reference to "Saw 2".) Edit
