0175 - Jacques
Added 2022-12-15 09:00:01 +0000 UTCI'm torn. This guy is a scumbag, trying to steal Marge away, but he's our second Albert Brookes voiced character, which means he is kind of a delight. The probably-improvised naturalistic dialogue between him and Marge is etched into my brain, especially during the explanation of brunch.
"Life On The Fast Lane" is Jacque's only speaking role, but it seems strange to document his other appearances as there have been so many. Compared to, say, the bowing alley guy from Monday's entry, Jacques seems far more prolific, appearing often in crowds, and even immortalised in the second version of the show's intro as Bart skates past him:
By the standards of this project he's practically a main character. You knew his name just from seeing him, and you probably notice every time he's on screen.
In case you missed the joke: his surname is not "Brunswick". Brunswick is the company that manufactured his bowling ball. This will be obvious to some of you, but it was not obvious to me for many years.
