As an Eastern European (as much as I hate to admit being one ), I can confirm, our humour is the exact same as the Scandis. It's dark.
In Hungarian, when sth goes or is expected to go just like it's supposed to, we often say "sínen van", lit. "someone/sth is on the rails" (you get it, like trains, cause they have fixed paths and always go where they're supposed to). A variation of this idiom is "someone/sth is on the rails like József Attila". Who's József Attila, you ask? An early 20th century poet who committed suicide by jumping in front of a train. Yeah, I know...
