I think that many (at least I) go through the same or similar checkboxes every standup and often devolve into the minutia making the entire process a waste of time. In a standup, I want to know that the team and individual members are working on the right task(s) and if so, are we/they blocked by anything and if so, how can resources be reallocated to remove the block. That is it. I'm not interested in a pep-talk. New and existing tickets should be triaged in a different forum and the critical results raised in the standup. I don't want to review trivial tickets and I definitely don't want to wordsmith anything in the standup. I think many "scrum masters" let standups devolve into "time reserved for preparing for the standup".
