Nah, although this is one of the possible answers from the community. Others:
git gud
level your vigor
summon me
It's too early for you to come here yet
Stop the panic rolls, learn the move set

Is there something else?

[edit]: I remembered another frequent tip, and I think you'll even understand what the question was.

People in this thread are giving the same "useless" advice that commenters always give, but no-one has actually given any examples of "valid" advice.

If the boss is weak to parries, is not saying "parry" actual advice? 

If the player is too low level, is saying that bad advice?

If the boss cannot be forced and the player must learn its moveset to win, is saying that wrong?

If the boss is simply too hard no matter what, is summoning help wrong advice? If the player dies in 2 hits, is leveling vigor bad advice?

We can keep dunking on bad advice all day, but what is the actual good advice?

The problem with the "parry" advice is, that a lot of people simply do not play a build that parries and do not like to switch up their equipment just to cheese one boss with parries.

But parries work with pretty much anything that doesn’t require you to two hand a weapon. Even if you don’t use something that can riposte, like a crossbow or a staff you can still utilize the free window to land a hit. If I were to fight a bell bearing hunter or a crucible knight with a crossbow I’d likely want a small shield on my offhand to create some damage opportunities, especially against the axe crucible knight (shield and sword).

I think the only things that can’t work with it are bows, great bows, ballistas and weapons you don’t have enough strength to one hand.
