They then discover a bamboo exercise bench, one of them decides to mess with it, yelling in a silly caveman voice: Gunther likes the muscles! Gunther want more muscles!! much to the cameraman's amusement. Not long afterwards, Gunther comes back. The tension of the exercise bench causes a piece of bamboo to fly off and impale Gunther through the ear and brain, killing him.
