Life
Fips Asmussen attended an advertising academy, and graduated with a diploma. He is a skilled typesetter.
Since the early 1970s he has worked as a comedian, mostly on stage, sometimes on radio and TV. Many of his performances were released as frequently best-selling sound recordings. He has also published several books.
Fips Asmussen's early comedy was more sophisticated and political. His later comedy performances became known for unfunny, mostly politically incorrect jokes and puns delivered in his trademark rapid-fire stream, often considered to be "so unfunny they're funny again." He is frequently the butt of jokes by other comedians, but has gained a cult following in Germany.
The Hamburg-born comedian lives in Querfurt.
Music
Asmussen's version of "Mein Gott Walter" by Mike Krüger appeared in German single charts. He made parodies of other songs.

Oliver Kalkofe and Fips Asmussen maintain a humorous/eristic rivalry.
Asmussen has accused the entertainer and comedian Dieter Hallervorden several times of using various gags without his consent, such as the famous "bottle of French fries" skit ("Palim-Palim"), which Hallervorden bought for his program from the entertainer Heinz Quermann. This controversy was eventually parodied by Harald Schmidt and Oliver Pocher in the show "Schmidt & Pocher".
