- when you cannot hear what the person at the other end of the "standup" is saying ...
- when your standup numbers 20+ people ...
- when your standup takes 30 minutes to complete ...
- when you're not sure whether you're in a standup, iteration-kickoff, or a meeting ...
- when you can't see all the team members in your standup because the standup is soo big that they are literally standing around a corner...
These all describe the "standup" at my current project... It is lovely

Find some like-minded people and attack it in a retro. If you still have those...
Good luck
