The "blind man" scene


Will someone please explain to me why the "blind man scene" took place?

Was this just some sort of random non-sequitor for comedic relief to show that his friends were clowns, or did they disrupt that restaurant intentionally?

When I first saw it as a kid, I thought it was funny, now I found it to be really annoying.

For me it seemed like a gag that they do to cheer themselves up. A code in a way. They use it later on to get Teddy away from his wife later on while at the same time pranking him to think Joey had lost it.

Me and my friends have a similar thing, when we go away together we superglue coins down on the pavement and laugh at people trying to pick them up.

Perhaps a male thing.

There is a throw away line where the doctor friend tells Gene Wilder they're going to do the blind man bit for Joey in order to cheer him up.

At least that is how I interpreted it

But don't take it from me, I don't know sh&t!!

You're right. I think his wife just left him or said she was going to..

I found the scene quite annoying tbh.
