Clever and funny maybe, but improvised ? Somehow I doubt that, I imagine they knew what the phrase was going to be well ahead of time.

Good point.
From Wikipedia:
In the final round, each team was asked to give the origin of a famous phrase or quotation. In early shows, once the real answers were given, Muir and Norden were invited to explain the origin of the phrase less seriously, in the form of a feghoot. An early example was the quotation "Dead! And never called me mother!" from a stage adaptation of East Lynne, which became the exclamation of a youth coming out of a public telephone box which he had discovered to be out of order.[11] Later the first part of the round was dropped in favour of having the chairman simply announce the accepted origin of each phrase, thus opening up new fields of phrases that would have been too well known or too obscure to be posed as questions. In later series Muir and Norden chose their own phrases in advance of each programme, and their stories became longer and more convoluted.[11]

A Kiwi and an Australian go to a pastry shop.
The Kiwi whisks three cookies into his pocket with lightning speed.
The baker doesn’t notice.
The Kiwi says to the Australian: "You see how clever we are? You’ll never beat that!"
The Australian says to the Kiwi; "Watch this, an Australian is always cleverer than a Kiwi."
He says to the baker, "Give me a cookie, I can show you a magic trick!"
The baker gives him the cookie which the Australian promptly eats.
Then he says to the baker: "Give me another cookie for my magic trick."
The baker is getting suspicious but he gives it to him.
He eats this one too.
Then he says again: "Give me one more cookie..."
The baker is getting angry now but gives him one anyway.
The Australian eats this one too.
Now the baker is really mad, and he yells: "And where is your famous magic trick?"
The Australian says: "Look in the Kiwi’s pocket!"

An Israeli doctor says: "In Israel, medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's testicles, put them on another man, and in 6 weeks, he is looking for work."
The German doctor says: "That's nothing, in Germany we take part of a brain, put it in another man, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work."
The Russian doctor says: "Gentlemen, we take half a heart from a man, put it in another's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work."
The Australian doctor laughs: "You all are behind us. Five years ago, we took a man with no brains, no heart, and no balls and made him Prime Minister. Now, the whole country is looking for work!"

Mechanic v Doctor Story
Allan, a mechanic, was removing a cylinder head from a Harley-Davidson motorbike, when he spotted a world-famous heart surgeon in his garage. The heart surgeon was waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike.Allan shouted across the garage, 'Hey Doc can I ask you a question?' The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to Allan. Allan straightened up,
wiped his hands on a rag and asked, 'So Doc, look at this engine. I also can open hearts, take valves out, fix'em, put in new parts and when I finish this will work just like a new one. So how come I work for a pittance and you get the really big money, when you and I are doing basically the same work?'
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over and whispered in Allan's ear, 'Try doing it with the engine running.'
