Because, as it were is an independent film by Strong Sad. Its strange title is an excerpt from a sentence seen at the beginning of the film:

If not for inspiration, to
wit, because, as it were, only
begotten from greed, whosoever
would make its plaintiff clear.

-Nobody U. Know
(deceased)

The film appears to be very experimental, and is shot in black and white on a hand-held film camera. It features a bizarre soundtrack that Strong Sad made himself by weeping softly into the wrong end of a saxophone. The film's plot, if it can be called one, is extremely vague. There appear to be some recurring symbols, such as jigsaw puzzle pieces and a dead potted plant, but their meaning and significance are unknown. The only visible character is played by Homestar Runner, who was payed 21 dollars of Monopoly money by Strong Sad.
