Albert Brooks had the best improv ever:

Hank Scorpio: Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?  
Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.  
Hank Scorpio: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn’t I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there’s four places. There’s the Hammock Hut, that’s on third.  
Homer: Uh-huh.  
Hank Scorpio: There’s Hammocks-R-Us, that’s on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There.  
Homer: Mm-Hmm.  
Hank Scorpio: That’s on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot… Matter of fact, they’re all in the same complex; it’s the hammock complex on third.  
Homer: Oh, the hammock district!  
Hank Scorpio: That’s right.

Hank Scorpio: Back to the hammocks, my friend. You know, there’s a little place called Mary Ann’s Hammocks. The nice thing about that place is Mary Ann gets in the hammock with you.  
[laughs]  
Hank Scorpio: I’m just kidding.  
Homer: Oh.  
Hank Scorpio: You know who invented the hammock, Homer?  
Homer: No.  
Hank Scorpio: There’s something for you to do: find that out.
