A Foil is a character, whether they are an important side character or an antagonist, whose personality contrasts to another personality, usually the protagonist.
In Sherlock Holmes, Watson acts as a foil to Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock is very eccentric and impulsive; he will jump into situations without thinking. Watson acts as a foil character as he is very calm and collected; he will think things through before doing them and has plans for the future, unlike Sherlock who is who plans as he goes along and has no idea what he is going to do next. In the second clip, when he is seen criticising Sherlock's impulsive behaviour involving the woman he later follows. He also is confused when he sees sherlock jumping out of a window.
