For a list of bad laconics, see Sandbox.Pages Needing Better Laconics.
For generally accepted guidelines for laconics, see Sandbox.Laconic Wiki Template.
Today I found out an interesting fact from troper Ironeye:
Don't ever make the mistake of using the Laconic version as the canonical trope meaning—the laconics are often written by people who don't actually understand the drop. In this case, the laconic only corresponds to one possible cause of Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy.
The Laconic Description for DIAA states as follows:
The thing is, these descriptions are supposed to make it easier to understand what the page is about. If they can't be accurate as well as short and sweet, then there's a problem.
So for starters, what would be a better description for DIAA?

Looks good to me.

Laconic.Halo has Chained Sinkholes and references a meme. Would removing them be good enough? I don't know the work.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
That's much better.
Cleaning up Music.Queen, this looks bad?
Laconic.Sliding Scale Of Realistic Versus Fantastic:
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a troped slide
Of resembling reality...
(How realistic or unrealistic a story is.)

I think that Laconic.The Klan's link joke may be going a bit too far:
- Worship the holy unabridged white-supremacist version HERE

So Laconic.Overwatch has this fustercluck of a laconic.
Let me try:
Heroes and villains from all over the globe duke it out in a 6v6 team-based Hero Shooter.

Kimi ni Todoke has this absolute wall of text:
- Because she doesn't think too highly of herself, crippingly shy high school girl with Sadako vibes doesn't quite notice that the most popular boy in class is paying attention to her. Somehow stumbles herself into friendship and romance along the way, crashing into every pantry in the hall. Massive cuteness ensues.
Laconic.Spanner In The Works catch my eyes because of chained sinkholes problem (as well as misuse of Precision F-Strike). But when I checked the history and send notifier to Naru Playz 6, I found that the older version before they replaced it
is much clearer, not to mention the current version has pointless pothole that only make it more confusing IMO.
Here's the current version.
And here's the previous version.
I think it's better to restore the previous version.

The older one is better. The more recent version is trying way too hard to be funny.
I'm helping!

Laconic.Celestial Paragons And Archangels is All-Blue Entry. Suggesting:
Angels and celestial beings have even stronger and holier angels in charge.

How is this laconic for As Long as There Is Evil?
the Retromancer
I'd append "due to humanity's inherent flaw." because it's relevant to the trope. Immortal villains can be many things.

Any thoughts on the Kimi ni Todoke one?

I'm not familiar with that series, so the only advice I can give is that, yes, the laconic badly needs a trim. Or a full replacement.
Berserk Button: misusing Nightmare Fuel
Asking again for an opinion on Laconic.The Klan. Telling the reader to worship the holy white-supremacist version sounds like a bad idea, it kinda sounds like it's endorsing the KKK.
Maybe replacing it with something about peeking under the hood to find the unabridged version might be better? But I'm struggling to decide on an exact wording.

Laconic.Tarot Troubles:
Current:
"Getting a "Death" Tarot Card is seen as (and in some cases is) a sign of imminent death even though that isn't what the card means."
...
Suggestion:
"Tarot cards that are a bad omen."
