    They are called Looney Tunes which was a play off of Merrie Melodies.

    I’m just confused as to how Jason and June are so lost on why the title works. Let’s break it down:

     

    Jam (noun) - an awkward situation or predicament

    -- The Tunes found themselves in a bit of a JAM when they are kidnapped by aliens from SPACE. Later, the basketball players who have their talent siphoned away are also in a jam, caused by the same space dwelling aliens. 

     

    Jam (verb) - slang term for a slam dunk in basketball. 

    --This is the reason for its use in the title of the popular video game NBA JAM. In Space Jam, we once again reference the aliens from space and the generally fun-to-watch action of the slam dunk.

     

    Jam (noun) - slang term for one of your favorite songs - “Yo! Hit ’Em High is my JAM!”

    -- The soundtrack for Space jam was quite popular, with a number of hits including R.Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly”, which people may shun now, but was enormously popular at release and for years after. 

     

    The title works in many ways, none of which are that much of a stretch to reach. Jason, June, stop hatin’.

    Yes to all of this. I assume the reason why they didn't understand is because "jam" is more of a black streetball term, and I would not expect Jason or June to have that lived experience. The only reason I knew it was a thing is because my brother loves pickup games and all things basketball in general. He could probably tell you the whole lineup of the NBA Jam video game.
