Cariad's Lord Of The Rings Nerdery

[@robertofontiglia4148]

I definitely fancy Cariad Lloyd even more now. I didn't think it was possible.

[@hblake5213]

You and me both

[@oliverhayhoe]

It’s definitely more

[@EdgyShooter]

Was coming down here to say exactly the same!

[@IndiBrony]

I'm not even a fan of Lord of the Rings, and it's definitely more for me, too

[@EnoVarma]

I want Cariad on Taskmaster. Please, make that happen. Just for me.

[@mzansime]

And me. Please! 😊💜

[@xxPenjoxx]

Yes!

[@mattihp]

Just thought the same! She is funny and has her own ways of thinking.

[@zyaicob]

Not just for you. She would be massively popular and an easy fan favourite

[@vidareggum6118]

I second? Third? I umpteenth this suggestion!

[@CloudsGirl7]

"You look more like an elf - get out" actually makes for a hell of a compliment. XD

[@TrevorCopter]

1:29 Alan giving AMAZING career advice

[@KarstenOkk]

It was honestly the first thing I thought too. Especially with height, if you're just an inch or two above or below the requirement, just try it anyway.

[@HarryRobins]

And then I love how Stephen actually got a part in it.

[@SunnyIntervalsORG]

"An election??? Preposterous! I won't stand for it!" "I don't think they'd ask you to stand sir!" 😁

[@MerkhVision]

What role did he get?

[@navythriller]

Master of Lake-town.

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

Even though it's rubbish (The Hobbit).

[@Kiwibikerbuddy]

Sandi is touring New Zealand next year. She should visit Hobbiton & other LOTR/Hobbit film locations, take heaps of selfies & send them all to Cariad. Cariad's reactions would be fun to watch.

[@rtyuik7]

she might want to move in, to the Shire...everything would be 'her size'! xD

[@SB4F]

I assumed that's where Sandi was from

[@helenaren]

Cariad is the cutest!

[@George_Bland]

Noel totally looks like an elf though, where Josh and Alan look like hobbits.

[@tubedude26666]

And Cariad looks like a goddess!

[@jadenkhor3523]

Nah Noel looks like Elvis Presley here for some reason

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

Yes, and that's what they said...

She's just delightful

I want her more everywhere! She’s my fav

[@wanderlustwarrior]

I'm not even an LOTR fan, but I fancier her more! It's cute to have interests!

[@zbr76]

Aww, love Cariad! As for Alan saying she's the right size for a hobbit, I'm quite sure she's 5 foot 7.

[@Dave1507]

I think he might have meant Sandi, who is indeed almost the right size

[@grahamstrouse1165]

Cariad’s tiny…

[@john.premose]

At least if he was a hobbit Noel would have a good excuse to spend 4 hours in makeup every day lol

[@joost00555]

"Only 4 hours?" -Noel

[@davidhill2020]

"I don't know if I fancy you more or less now" and both Sandi and Noel say LESS? Git you a girl with passion, peeps!

[@BlandBloke]

Fine I'll just say it here. 💖💖I LOVE YOU CARIAD!!!💖💖

[@magicelliotth]

She’s great isn’t she?

[@strawberryblonde9706]

Actually Alan could have played a convincing Wormtounge

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

Not knocking the idea (although I love Brad Douriff as both Grima and Pieter de Vries from another favourite epic of mine) but Alan might have made a scarily accurate Tom Bombadil in LOTR. He has that completely random but very funny thing going that makes you think, wait, he's clowning around, but this guy actually has wisdom that I cannot even imagine.

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

Wormtongue.

[@backwashjoe7864]

I picture Alan as Farmer Maggot. Can definitely see him as Tom also! :)

[@U2QuoZepplin]

I like it how the phrase 'Dog shit,' trumps the more common phrase "I was shit," simply with the addition of the word "dog." The English language is a funny thing .

[@Madfattdeeb]

WTF?!! They so should have make Noel an elf. That would have been brilliant!

[@janiexoxo]

He would have been good as Lee Pace’s brother or something

[@fretlessman71]

Is this episode available in full? My search has been inconclusive.... gotta be Series P (16), episode 9. Anyone?

[@iain860]

Cariad 🥰🥰 You wonderful, intelligent, beautiful Human 💖

[@thekittyburger3175]

I absolutely love Cariad :)

Still time to get a cameo in the series...

I will always fancy Cariad, no matter what.

[@orwellboy1958]

Oh, yes. 😍

[@almostfm]

It's definitely more.

[@CS-lm5re]

Are these 2022 episodes? Watching here in the US and didn’t know if these were older episodes.

[@viveladecadence]

This clip is from series P back in 2018/19, the short clips on the QI youtube channel are usually taken from older/not current episodes. Series T will be the upcoming one, hopefully some time this fall.

[@CS-lm5re]

@@viveladecadence Thank you!!!

[@danesorensen1775]

More. Definitely much more.

[@almostfm]

Agreed.

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

OMG Cariad is adorable!

[@parthdave2501]

An LOTR remake with Alan as Gandalf, Noel as Legolas, Cariad as Samwise and Josh as Frodo would be lit! 🤣

[@zoranocokoljic8927]

As Tolkirn himself wrote, Sam is shortened from Semi-wise, or in other words half-wit, which is the meaning of his name in hobbitish.

[@StevenS757]

I mean, thats the in story explanation.

[@sstills951]

And he also wrote that Frodo was shortened from Frozen Donut because Frodo loved his donuts frozen.

[@peterclarke7240]

Samwise is actually an Old English name, which does indeed mean "halfwit/semi-wise" In lotr, it's a translation into the Common tongue from Banazir, which is Sam's true name in hobbitish. *been a fan for years, and I only found this out yesterday 😁

[@peterclarke7240]

Frozen donut sounds like the sort of cushion one might need if, following a particularly violent curry, you were experiencing the Fiery Ring of Doom. So, quite fitting that it could be shortened to "frodo."

[@AMpufnstuf]

A man named Samwise Gamgee wrote Tolkien a letter saying that he hasn't heard of him or read his books, but people keep telling him he's in them. They didn't even have it at his local library back then, so Tolkien replied saying they're quite good and asked if he'd like him to mail him a copy of the books

[@markc7440]

Cariad is so cute.

[@PauloTheGeek]

It's reassuring when very attractive women like Cariad Lloyd have geeky passions.

[@mirthenary]

Now go ask her if she's upset that Tom Bombadil is not in the movies... oh God, now I'm the nerd🤓

[@billystokes3917]

Don't forget about Glorfindel! One of my favourite elves...and he wasn't in the movie!

[@RobbofromCronulla]

And we can all have a merry sing song.

[@AndrewTBP]

[@cuzned1375]

Noel’s haircut is giving me weird feelings, but thankfully that turtleneck is dispelling them.

[@tristanwinkworth1562]

As if I needed another reason to swoon over Cariad.

[@MrPheonixconn333]

If QI was in middle earth: Alan/Josh/Sandy - Hobbits Noel - Elf Cariad - Woman of Gondor Stephen Fry - Wizard!!

I can definitely picture an elven noel fielding

It's "Havo dad, Legolas"

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thanks

[@Warrigt]

Elvis in christmas sweater.

[@bren106]

It's the Easter eggs the QI elves subtly drop in that make it so special. Knowing Cariad is a giant LOTR nerd and also putting her on with others that auditioned for her to geek out on when she finds out.

[@murgontreloar5254]

Most definitely more!

Anyway, nerdery my foot! Voted again and again best book of the 20th century, "The Lord of the Rings" is a work of unmitigated GENIUS. I don't quite understand people who haven't read it, but who adore the film. With the exceptions of those who cannot read, for whatever reason. Imagine the book without "The Scouring of the Shire" or Eowyn's and Faramir's beautiful love story, to name but two episodes! I can't do it!

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

P.S. I don't consider myself a nerd, dammit !

[@EATherridan]

I am much more attracted now.

Was Sandi too short to be a hobbit?

[@CooperBayBay]

I can't believe Josh is taller than Martin

[@Jo-yp8wy]

Never knew "cariad" was anything more than a term of affection. Live and learn.

[@zyaicob]

She's the personification of the term. (Idk Celtic languages what does cariad mean)

[@ZoopsMind]

In Welsh, it can be a name, it can just mean 'love' (as in the concept or feeling) and it can mean 'beloved' or 'darling'.

[@Matthew-ut6ed]

FYI, "Cariad" means "Darling" in Welsh.

[@DrZaius3141]

I wouldn't expect anyone associated with QI to ever be a part of the Hobbit movies. The entire idea is ridiculous!

Cariad said the wrong line. It should be, "havo dad, Legolas". Right? I can't make out what she's saying, but it ain't that!

[@Fenristhegreat]

Thank you! I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one to notice.

[@andemaiar]

@@Fenristhegreat I think she just made something up and hoped no one would notice!

[@snr0n]

@@andemaiar Well, that sounds like you think she was being deliberately deceptive instead of what I'd think is much more likely, which is just that she's more excitable than she is observant, and she honestly thought she got the line right. I only remember seeing her on QI a couple of times, but she's generally struck me as being a bit daft. Still, that's not a crime, and you don't have to be particularly bright to genuinely enjoy something.

[@LeornianCyng]

It’s definitely more. I love Cariad, the books by Tolkien, the LOTR trilogy and The Hobbit / LOTR audiobooks read by Andy Serkis so it would be a win win. That being said, I didn’t like The Hobbit films and I refuse to watch the rubbish on Amazon lol

[@pistonar]

I'm with you on the Hobbit films. I watched the trailer, and was somewhat horrified by that, but gave the first film a chance. The only part I really like in it was the meta-scene where they show the battle of Azanulbizar. The rest of it was really kind of awful. I know that Peter Jackson didn't have his normal time to develop a project he picked up from someone else, but I thought the film was largely rubbish, and I'm glad I didn't punish myself with the other two.

[@katfezza4570]

I would say give the Amazon series a chance rather than flat out refusal. It's certainly better than the Hobbit trilogy. It's not perfect but it's entertaining enough. I'm a bit of a Tolkien purist but have enjoyed the first couple episodes with only a couple niggles.

[@stephenlitten1789]

@@katfezza4570 But definitely wait a month or two to not give Amazon any ratings. They butchered all of Tolkein's lore, and deserve to lose all of the billion they invested.

[@ahsanzee]

I'm pretty sure you have to be quite self aware when you're a stand up comedian because of how instant any negative feedback can be on stage. As a matter of fact I doubt I've ever heard a comedian talk of themselves as a proper actor. The only one who comes to mind might have been Robin Williams but I'd say he was probably an actor before a comedian seeing how he went to Juilliard with Christopher Reeves and all.

@@MerkhVision Cariad's "LOTR nerdery" was about 30 seconds of the video. (that is, less than 20 percent of the length, a fifth, was about what the title says).
