The episode won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program.
"Solenya" is Russian for "Pickles."
A brief animatic for a partial scene was released at San Diego Comic-Con 2016 showing Rick as a pickle killing rats.
Jerry does not appear in this episode but his voice actor, Chris Parnell, does as one of the agents Rick fights against.
Pickle Rick making a triple headshot with one laser beam is a reference to Deadpool (2016), in which the title character does the same with a single bullet.
