On the r/IASIP subreddit, u/HarryPottahIsDead posted a scene from the Season 6 episode "The Gang Gets A New Member." Dee's former high school teacher, Dr. Larry Myers (Rene Auberjonois), is captioned by a line about when he was a younger teacher: "My enthusiasm in those days was entirely fueled by the alcohol."
Redditors agreed that it was "An underrated line from a favourite [sic] episode," as the headline stated, and started quoting great jokes from the drama teacher. Dr. Myers is a former mentor whose love of acting once inspired Dee but is now burnt out after getting sober. His best deliveries include "Rot in hell, wretched beast!" and "I am shattered to pieces!" u/Mad_Roo even commented on the last part, "Came here to say that's my favorite line from the episode and one of my favorites lines from the show in general. Uttered by a one-off character, no less."
After Dr. Myer's hip is broken, Dee becomes a substitute teacher to Myers' class of apathetic kids in "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth." Myers doesn't return to the show, but the character did fit perfectly into the dysfunctional world of "Always Sunny."
