 The title is a reference to the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock thriller Dial M for Murder . At the beginning of the episode , Stewie rhetorically asks whether or not he can call the television magazine TV Guide " The Guide " . In the scene where Brian spies on Meg for the Teen Journal article Stewie quickly warns Brian that " not all dogs go to heaven " , cutting to a quick scene with the Disney character Goofy from the Mickey Mouse shorts in hell with Satan claiming Goofy was part of the plotting of 9 / 11 . Goofy justified his part in the attacks by pointing out the United States ' support for Israel . Goofy is then thrown to the pit of fire , using his famous laugh . In one scene Stewie refers to Meg as " one of those crazy chicks , who hooks up with an even crazier guy , " with a photograph of Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey then being shown . The song " The Ballad of Billy the Kid " by singer and performer Billy Joel is used in depicting Peter 's flashbacks about being a cowboy . Meg mentions meeting Wesley Snipes in the episode , and mentions his movie Passenger 57 . The ending of the episode includes a reference to The Simpsons , in which Meg makes an unfunny joke , with Peter announcing he is not amused , responding by sarcastically stating " Always end on a strong joke . " The start of the closing credits that follow the statement is styled to match those used in The Simpsons credits .
