Jacques is somewhat of a "casanova", and mainly seems to try and seduce his clients instead of actually teaching them anything. He speaks with a french accent, yet when he yells he mysteriously seems to lose the accent. He most likely only uses this to attract women. At the time he met Marge in "[[Life on the Fast Lane]]", she was very angry with [[Homer]] for buying her a bowling ball that was clearly for him for her birthday. So instead of letting him have it she took it to [[Bowl-O-Rama|Barney's Bowl-O-Rama]] where she met Jacques who instantly started hitting on her. Jacques offered to teach her and Marge accepted. Later he invited her to brunch and then to his apartment in [[Fiesta Terraces]]. He ended up alone when Marge chose to stick with her true love Homer. Marge believed that his last name was "Brunswick", because it was engraved on his bowling ball yet that was really only the brand of his ball. Beginning with season 2, he was in the opening sequence. In [[Team Homer]] it is seen that he is in a bowling team called the [[Home Wreckers]] along with [[Princess Kashmir]], [[Mindy Simmons]], and [[Lurleen Lumpkin]].
