Is there a way to say "crisis averted" in Japanese that retains its sarcastic meaning?

Question

You know, as in situations that are clearly not crises.

I've looked around but can't find an answer.

The expressions that I think would retain the sarcasm are :

「[間一髪]{かんいっぱつ}。」 or 「間一髪だったね。」

「[危機一髪]{ききいっぱつ}。」 or 「危機一髪だったね。」

A slightly less natural (and more literally translated) phrase would be :

「[危機回避]{ききかいひ}したね。」

Thank you! I think the top two were exactly what I was after.

How about やばかった? (Might not be exactly the same meaning but is it close enough?)
