Guys from the neighborhood know who Joe was intimating, i remember when he was a hairdresser. enough said , he should thank the wise guys from " The Lake" .
This whole thing was improvised. When a young Pesci was working in a restaurant, he told a mobster that he was funny. The mobster apparently, and for some strange reason, got pissed. Before they were gonna shoot this movie, Scorsese gave Pesci permission to react that event. None of the other actors knew beforehand, hence the very realistic surprise in Liotta's face when Pesci gets irritated.
@Thrashfro384 It wasn't. this was entirely scripted and directed by Pesci by martin scorsese's request. The "You think I'm funny?" scene was based on a story that Joe Pesci acted out for Martin Scorsese. While working in a restaurant as a young man, Pesci once told a mobster that he was funny and the mobster became very angry. Scorsese allowed Pesci to direct and script the scene. He did not tell the other actors in the scene what would happen because he wanted their genuine surprised reactions
@zeromant80 I believe the person he was mimicking was the real-life "bobby cabert" from Jersey, who isn't the person he plays in this movie. The real Tommy was one of the stick-up guys of the infamous Lufthansa heist of the late 1970's.
Some people just don't know how to act.
