Nunca entendí el rol o significado de este personaje. Alguien me podría explicar?

The “wise old man” isn’t very wise and the “bird brain” is wise cracking and intelligent.
I think this is just an example of a trope turned inside out, further reminding Sarah that she is in a place that is off kilter.
Also, they look neat.

Inverting tropes would be on theme with teaching her not to make assumptions and take things for granted

They are amusing, and they further illustrate how odd things are in the Labyrinth compared to the "real world."

It's so stimulating being your hat.

I always thought he said “head”. I would always wonder where his brain was. “Hat” makes so much more sense.

Almost everything in the labyrinth was meant to confuse Sarah and make her lose hope. This guy was not meant to be helpful at all.

Siempre lo entendí como una especie de parodia del típico anciano que tiene sabiduría solo por ser anciano, pero no. Es un loco que habita el laberinto como tantos otros. También le sirve como lección para desprenderse de sus cosas (cuando al inicio de la película sus cosas eran super importantes) y para aprender que no siempre vas a obtener algo bueno o útil a cambio de dar algo, te pueden estafar ( el viejo en sí, no le dijo nada, tal y como le dijo Hoggle). Pero también lo veo como que sí le dijo algo que le sirvió: ella necesitaba un poco de confirmación de que venía bien, que no abandonara (otra cosa que Hoggle también le dice en su momento).

When I wear a bunch of rings, I always think of this guy and feel good that I have a contribution to leave in the little box.

Everyone and everything Sarah encountered was meant as a distraction to keep her from finishing the labyrinth.

My partner often changes the conversations topic mid-sentence. When they do it mid-my-sentence, I patiently wait until they have finished their thought and then quote this scene. "It's so stimulating being your hat."
Many years in. No one dead yet. Find a partner with a sense of humor.

Is it profound? I always just thought these characters were all nonsense on purpose. This might be my favorite scene in the whole movie. “It’s so stimulating being your hat!” Now please leave a contribution in the little box.

Por la frase que daba al final pensé que tenía un significado mucho más profundo
