Do these have a name?
 

1. It's not the cough that carries you off, it's the coffin they carry you off in.

and...

2. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.


And does anyone have any others?

They are known as spoonerisms. I was considering one as my new party nickname: 50 ways to love your lever. There are plenty more, just use google.

Isn't a spoonerism something more of Pea soup --> See poop?

Maybe. I guess these are puns based on spoonerisms, but maybe pun is wrong too. You'll figure it out, I'm sure.

Yes. A spoonerism is transliterating one letter/sound. I have no idea what these are called.
