    Wait... People hate _The Master of Disguise?_ I thought the Bad Movie Tetralogy was _The Room, Troll 2, Plan 9 From Outer Space,_ and _Manos: The Hands of Fate._ How do people hate The Master of Disguise now?

Same with Sky High and a lot of obscure Tim Allen movies.
      The Master of Disguise was equally obscure until a few years ago. I only remember it because the Turtle Club scene was an inside joke/meme between me and my friends. But no one else had ever seen the movie until like two years ago.

    I think the bong hit transplant is the only example you showed that actually does make sense. The idea that someone is on a restricted diet from surgery, and that restricted diet just resembles what someone would run to a convenience store to buy while experiencing the munchies due to weed consumption. It's his most sophisticated joke.
    The reason why it's especially funny for Tom is because it's uncharacteristically actually kind of clever, but also, it just has such a nice ring to it: Bong Hit Transplant
    It's just such a nice bouncy phrase that can be plugged into other contexts. It would make a great t-shirt slogan if Tom were smart enough to capitalize on it. But it DOES make sense.
    It's Tom's way of revealing the true motive of the guy buying the snacks.
    But because he has such a weak understanding of humor or what makes a joke good, and he winds up the joke way bigger than it needs to be. He sets it up too long. It's too complicated. And for a punch line, "Bong Hit Transplant" is unwieldy. It takes too long for people to deconstruct what it is he's even saying after he says it, and the way he delivers it he expects a big laugh, but people in the audience are stuck trying to translate what he means. It's actually so sophisticated the audience is caught off guard and by the time they do understand it, he's already lost all confidence in his joke and wants to move on.
    But he will keep telling the joke because it IS actually funny, but it's all his other material that's is so weak.
