10 Best Standalone Seinfeld Episodes
10. The Puffy Shirt
Of course an episode that references one of the series' best - The Contest - in such an exemplarily complementary manner was always going to be featured on this list. This appearance, although provocatively hilarious in its own right, can't match up to the ludicrous appearance of Mr. Seinfeld himself by the end of the episode.
If the title doesn't elude you to what ridiculous corsage that would be, then you may want to look into your own wardrobe and make sure you're not a secret connoisseur of unpleasant taste.
The shirt isn't the only reason to remember this entry, in fact it's just a small fraction of it. No, with an episode like The Puffy Shirt you come for a swashbuckling good time, but stay for the farcical plot of George's newly discovered, angelic hands. In a storyline that sounds questionable at best, the pygmy little man just so happens to be in the wrong place at the right time, initially.
Until he finds himself in the wrong place at the wrongest of times and a rather upset "low-talker" thrusts him into an iron and you can't help but hate yourself for laughing at his misfortune once again.
It's made all the more funnier when realising that every detrimental occurence could've been easily prevented by the woman amplifying her vocals. Instead, leaving it until after being embarrassed to speak up.
Proof that a closed mouth doesn't get fed! Or even an open one for that matter...
