Delicatessen Zipp
Feinkost Zipp was a radio comedy series by Andreas Müller , which was broadcast on the third radio program of Südwestrundfunk SWR3 (formerly SWF3 ) until 1999 and is considered the most popular comic series on SWF3.
General
The almost one-minute spots play in the fictional corner shop “Feinkost Zipp” and follow a fixed scheme: The customer demands a certain product, does not agree with what he gets for various, sometimes absurd reasons, whereupon the shortage is justified by the seller with a play on words or an ambiguity.
Over 200 episodes were produced for radio, some of which were also filmed as TV spots. The stereotypical phrases from the comic such as “Is that still fresh?” (Customer) and “Des g'hört so!” (Saleswoman) were widely used in everyday language in the broadcasting area.
A Baden-Baden grocery store serves as a model , in which numerous SWF employees were customers at the time due to the proximity to the broadcasting house, and which itself has the word delicatessen in its name. This real situation recurs in the spots as a contrast between the Baden Regiolekt- speaking salespeople and customers who speak High German .
The name Zipp refers to the morning program of the same name on SWF3, which was broadcast from 1995 to 1998.

The scheme is only slightly varied, only the requested article, the reason for the complaint and the seller's explanation are really exchanged.
After the intro and the doorbell ring, the customer is greeted with a loud "Moggääään!", Which he replies tiredly and in a bad mood, after which he can express his wish after the question "So, what can I do today?" He always introduces his doubts about the quality with the question of whether the item is fresh, which he is happily assured, whereupon he puts forward the actual reason for the complaint. The saleswoman, Ms. Zombie, calls this to a colleague, Ms. Werewolf, who answers with growls, chain rattles and hissing, which Ms. Zombie translates into the reasoning with the remark “Ms. Werewolf says it belongs so”. Then she calls her boss, Mr. Zipp, to the till, who occasionally also makes a comment about the purchase and says goodbye to the customer with "Savoy cabbage!"
For example, the customer asks for cake, complains that it is rock-hard, and Ms. Zombie explains to him, "It sounds like it", it is also marble cake. Examples of more absurd defects: The bought cherries let the light go out, explanation: they are also morello cherries; There is a stained tie in the cornstarch, explanation: it is also a sauce binder.
Ms. Zombie and Mr. Zipp communicate with an exaggerated number of superficially friendly “Thank you!” And “Please!”.
Instead of “Wirsing”, “Ata!”, Which is also a well-known brand name for a scouring powder, “Ciao Ciao!” - “Thank you, no dog!”, “Bye!” - “Thank you, I have bowls!” Will be used in later episodes me! "or" Adele! " It turns out that Ms. Zombie's first name is Adele, as she sometimes reacts to this exclamation from Mr. Zipp from the background.
production
All voices were recorded by Andreas Müller and mixed with noises to create the finished sketch.
Research on delicatessen Zipp
“Feinkost Zipp” found its way into student papers and various publications.
Andrew Crisell sees the series as an example of comedy that results, on the one hand, from the corruption of stereotypical forms of communication, everyday situations and clichés, which are in themselves very interesting objects of analysis because they offer a framework for everyday perception and cultural customs, and on the other hand are word games and pun the main feature.
Lydia Gaukler describes the play on words of the series in terms of incongruence theory : The mixing of contradicting facts creates irritation that creates humor.
