"Taming Strange" is the fifth episode in the seventeenth season of the American animated television series South Park. The 242nd episode of the series overall, it premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on October 30, 2013. This episode parodies Miley Cyrus' controversial performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards through the use of Yo Gabba Gabba!, as well as the technical problems encountered during the launch of the HealthCare.gov website. The central focus of the plot revolves around Kyle trying to bond with his baby brother Ike, who is suddenly going through puberty.
At South Park Elementary, Mr. Mackey announces to the students that the school will be operating entirely on a new computer interface system called Intellilink, but his demonstration of the system shows that it does not work properly. Meanwhile, a rift has opened between Kyle and his brother, Ike, who, as a result of undergoing precocious puberty, has become hostile towards Kyle. Told by Mackey that Canadians, like Ike, may experience puberty differently, the two boys view a Canadian health film, in which the Canadian Minister of Health, explains that sexual reproduction among Canadians involves a woman queefing in a man's face. When informed by someone off camera that this is wrong, the Canadian Minister of Health confronts his wife over the fact that she once explained to him that she queefed in his face for this reason. She explains that she was being sarcastic, out of anger that Terry has refused to attend relationship counseling with her. All of this is shown in the film, which fails to resolve Kyle and Ike's problem.
