This article is about "Jam" as a musical term. For the other uses of the word, see Jam.
"It tastes like a number one jam!"

Number One Jam is a phrase used within the Homestar Runner body of work as a description of a song by either The Brothers Chaps or a character. The term is often used in a self-referential context, so there is nothing to verify whether or not a song is actually a number one jam. However, the claim is sometimes verified, as in time capsule, when Stinkoman remarks "It tastes like a number one jam" after eating the Grumblecakes single.
