The Banzai Predicament is a band created by Nathan Fielder for the show Nathan for You. In the episode "Shipping Logistics Company", Nathan plans to help a shipping company pay lower tariffs for smoke detectors by selling them as musical instruments. In order to prove they are instruments, Nathan decides to release a hit song featuring a smoke detector. After posting auditions for members, he formed the group The Banzai Predicament, who released their first and only song "Orphaned Skies", notable for its use of a smoke detector as an instrument. The band never released another song and broke up not long after. Singles: 2017 - "Orphaned Skies" | |

Protest Song | |
| The Banzai Predicament (Music) / int_16d8476f | comment |
Protest Song: "Orphaned Skies" vaguely protests environmental issues, and it later became the face of the band’s protest against Shell. | |

The Man Behind the Man | |
| The Banzai Predicament (Music) / int_3a1c2171 | comment |
The Man Behind the Man: The band, its music, and its use of a smoke detector were all set up by Nathan. Additionally, he created a fake Shell Oil commercial containing the song to convince its members that Shell stole it, leading to them throwing a protest that was covered on the news, allowing the song to gain even more publicity. | |

Fake Band | |
| The Banzai Predicament (Music) / int_6d7bc0f | comment |
Fake Band: Nathan Fielder formed this band only for the show to prove that smoke detectors can be musical instruments. | |

Word Salad Title | |
| The Banzai Predicament (Music) / int_9c550e26 | comment |
Word Salad Title: The band's name doesn't have any real meaning and is just two random words. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| The Banzai Predicament (Music) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: Like everything Nathan creates, his plan to lower tariffs on smoke detectors by labeling it as instrument, using it as an instrument, and creating a fake commercial to convince the band to throw a protest and get the song on the news are all ridiculous and morally questionable plans that end up working, to some extent. | |

Everything Is an Instrument | |
| The Banzai Predicament (Music) / int_e144beb6 | comment |
Everything Is an Instrument: The band's main gimmick is its use of a smoke detector as an instrument, which Nathan Fielder relabeled as a "blues smoke detector" (not that it sounded any different). | |
