Its a very, very old joke. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was the movie, I think?
That's just how Japanese people talk. Look at Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
At least at the time, the situation you find so weird was common enough to be satirized, based on dubs of live-action movies.
There was a series of documentaries made about a tomato strain that developed more active measures against attacks [0]
