Trivia

 * This is not the final mailbag, but the last mailbag in this design.
 * This mailbag reveals that Samuel L. Jackson has an agent, a driver and a hamster.

Remarks

 * Eventually, Sceb never retired after all. There was a Mailbag 51 and a Mailbag 52 too.
 * Mrs. Magic Fairy being as hallucinated as Cloe is probably a reference to Cloe almost not appearing in any mailbag at all.
 * The bag in the preloader at the end had colored outlines, probably to match it in the FtM universe.
 * Because of Sceb's Hair-B-Back Test Subject # 1 in the credits being mentioned that he may rest in peace, this makes it unknown if he's still alive.

Goofs

 * To every mailbag with this preloader: During the mailbag popping animation, when the letters come out, there are letters that are uncolored or half colored. Also, when they go onto the screen, the stamps change colors.

Remarks from Mailbag 1

 * Mailbag 50's frame rate is 18 fps, but Mailbag 1 had 15 fps, meaning that Mailbag 1 in this mailbag is 3 fps higher.

 * The squinting of Sceb's eyes when he says ""unforseen circumstances..."" doesn't cover all of the gray outlines of Sceb's eyes.

 * In the graveyard image, the old markings of the grave goes over the grass and the gravestone itself. This is best seen by zooming in.
 * Real quickly right before the flashback of Mailbag 23 ends, you can mouse over the cookie to see the mouse over effect of the cookie.
 * Also, in a flash decompiler, pausing at a frame with the goof, click it to go to the next scene.

 * The hour hand on the clock doesn't move, although this may be intentional.

 * When the 14 easy payments scene appears, the lye shadow is just darkened, not tinted completely to black, grey, or a darker color of the background.

Remarks from Mailbag 16 Easter egg

 * Mailbag 50's frame rate is 18 fps, but Mailbag 16 had 15 fps, meaning that Mailbag 16 in this mailbag is 3 fps higher.

Remarks from Mailbag 19

 * The face of Mrs. Fairy is the exact same face as the girl who said "How could he?" in the previous mailbag.
 * The hair, eyeballs, and ear (plus the ear ring) looks similar to the hair, eyeballs, and ear (plus the ear ring) of Cloe, although the character wasn't made at the time, as this mailbag predated her, along with the BDDB and Pip characters.
 * Although Mrs. Fairy is called "Mrs. Magic Fairy" in this mailbag, in Mailbag 19, she is called "Mrs. Fairy".
 * Mailbag 50's frame rate is 18 fps, but Mailbag 19 had 15 fps, meaning that Mailbag 19 in this mailbag is 3 fps higher.
 * The scene where Mrs. Fairy and Sceb was in another world (the scene with the crawling bug illusion background) was shorter in this one. This is best shown as Mailbag 19 had it end with a rainbow background. The rainbow background wasn't seen in Mailbag 50, so it's obvious the scene was cut off a bit.
 * In Mailbag 19, the email and home windows appeared during Sceb's drooling. They were removed in Mailbag 50.

Goofs from Mailbag 19

 * When Sceb looks up when he is going into Mrs. Fairy's world, his pupils is over the outlines of his eyes.
 * Tthe music started from the beginning after a while.

Real-World References

 * Near the end of the mailbag, there was a sign that said "Happy 56th Season, The Simpsons!", but The Simpsons never had a 56th Season, and it is unknown if it even will have one.
