The two main Jewish populations in France are Sephardim and Askenazim. Both have associated stereotypes that are widely used in French Jewish humour. Sephardim are regularly portrayed as extravagant pokers player, huslters and show businessman. A good example of this stereotype is the film series "La vérité si je mens", "Would I Lie to You?" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120471/r.
Marco Mouly is a poker player, huslter, fraudster, compulsive liar and many other thing. Even in a film or a standup he would be too much to be true.
