The Puffy Shirt (The Puffy Shirt, Season 5, Episode 2)
Inadvertently agreeing to wear this puffy shirt on The Today Show to promote Goodwill charity, Jerry winds up getting mocked for his outfit by show host Bryant Gumbel. This leads to Jerry losing his patience, and putting the shirt on blast.
As usual with Seinfeld, this one action affects the whole episode, with Kramer’s girlfriend taking her anger out on Jerry, and ending George’s hand-modelling career by burning his hands on an iron.
