What does it mean to be a foil person?

When two people are acting silly, they are simply acting silly. When one is acting silly and the other one is behaving, the one behaving is the foil. That enables you to see the difference between silly behavior and normal behavior. In the Abbot and Costello movies, Abbot was normal or the foil. Costello was the goof off. Faulkner used a foil so he could show the people he described were not normal.
