"The Puffy Shirt" was the second episode of Seinfeld's fifth season. Because of a misunderstanding, Jerry agrees to wear a puffy shirt, designed by Kramer's girlfriend Leslie, for his nationally televised interview. The interview is a disaster because Bryant Gumbel can't stop laughing at the shirt.
Jerry's fascination with the number nine factored into his decision to end Seinfeld after nine seasons. "Nine is cool," he says. "By the end, we will have done 180 shows (1+8=9). When I was thinking about quitting the show, I thought, nine. People said, '10--why not 10?' But 10 is lame. Nine is my number."
Jerry dares her $50 to take an egg roll from someone's plate and eat it. Elaine approaches a table and offers to split the $50 with them, but she speaks too softly. When they can't understand her, she panics and retreats.
Jerry names his favourite yellow t-shirt "Golden Boy". Unfortunately, "Golden Boy" is so old that he is dying. At the end of the episode, Jerry tells Elaine that he didn't make it through the final wash cycle and has been replaced by his son, "Baby Blue".
