Sh|t smiles?

No, "hellish fun", literally.

That's terrible, and darkly amusing.

Он сказал что-то вроде "Мы их будем в сортирах мочить". В порядке слов не уверен, но была использована именно эта лексика.

That's terrible because the translator has poor command of the Russian language. In this case he said "Извиняться мы не собираемся - нам не перед кем извиняться" - i.e. "they have no right to demand appologies".

As for "Хотели как лучше, а получилось как всегда". Chernomyrdin didn't invent the phrase- he just popularised it on TV. I heard this humorous phrase long before Chernomyrdin.
