The thing is, the line by itself isn’t funny, it’s what it’s a response to - Frank Costanza’s bit about the hen, the rooster, and the chicken. (From memory):

Frank: “You got the rooster, the hen, and the chicken. The rooster’s having sex with the hen. But who’s having sex with the chicken? _Something’s missing!_”

Susan’s mom: “Something’s missing alright.”

Susan’s dad: “They’re _all_ chickens! The rooster has sex with all of them!”

Frank: “Well that’s just perverted.”

A scene from the episode called ‘The Gymnast’ IIRC.

George had earlier explained to Jerry that he removes his shirt when he uses the bathroom ( to defecate ) to keep it from getting in the way.

Later at a get together at his girlfriend’s home, in which George is desperately trying to re-ingratiate himself with his girlfriend’s family ( after earlier having made some revolting social faux pas in front of the mother ) George uses the bathroom. When he comes back out into the party, he’s stripped to the waist, sans shirt. His look when he’s realized this is priceless, as is the family’s reaction.
