Do people really wear such shirts or was it just a joke for the show?

LOL...David Lee Roth also wore one in the video for his remake of Louis Prima's "Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" (the scene with "Boy George").

Those of us who lamely tried dressing "cool" in the eighties have very bad memories of puffy shirts. And skinny ties, and Fedoras like Jon Cryer in "Pretty in Pink" and on and on. Safe to say, if I ever run for president there will be a whole lot of embarassing pictures of me circulating.
