The task is even more mysterious than usual in this exclusive Taskmaster clip

Comedians Isy Suttie and Chloe Petts attempt to convince their rivals (and us) that they either do, or don't, know what the hell's going on in this exclusive clip.

The task is even more mysterious than usual in this exclusive Taskmaster clip

The 22nd season of the British panel series Taskmaster is currently underway, with comedians Matt Lucas, Richard Ayoade, Nina Conti, Chloe Petts, and Isy Suttie serving as the subjects of creator Alex Horne's eccentric experiments. The fourth episode of the season, set to premiere on YouTube on Thursday, promises to deliver another round of task-based chaos.

Today, The A.V. Club has acquired an exclusive clip to tantalize viewers with a glimpse of what's to come. As promised, the clip features the unpredictable antics of the featured comedians, who are tasked with performing absurd and nonsensical actions in response to cryptic instructions. Among the featured pair, Nina Conti and Chloe Petts have been particularly noteworthy this season, with Petts often taking the spotlight for her "mad genius" persona.

In this episode, the pair must convincingly demonstrate whether they are receiving instructions from a hidden earpiece while manipulating large industrial machines. The question remains: will Petts' confidence or Suttie's baffled demeanor prove more convincing? Only Thursday's episode will reveal the answer to this intriguing conundrum.
