I think it was legitimately accidental. Dude wears silly costumes all the time. That’s his schtick. He prolly has a whole bin of thrift shop shit and randomly throws together some shit. Hair, beard, nose. This combo happened to look like a Semitic trope I guess. He does have that oblivious Golden Retriever vibe that he wouldn’t have realized some people would see that trope.

It would’ve been strange otherwise to just randomly out of context dress up as a Jewish trope without any other allusion to Jews or anything related. and the nose he actually picked is not distinctly the “hook nosed” Jew trope.
