Counterpoint: my 2 favorite classes in undergrad were both general education courses - "World Regions" (had a super charismatic professor so wouldn't necessarily recommend this course at any random university) and "Morality & Justice".

"Contemporary Moral Problems" with a professor who resembles Captain Kangaroo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Kangaroo).

Did you really mean "World Regions", or instead "World Religions"?

Yes "Regions". The course covered geopolitics, current events, etc. The course and professor were famous at the university. The course material itself was interesting because it covered current events in detail, but the real reason for the class's popularity was that the professor was incredibly entertaining. Attending a lecture was sort of like watching an episode of Stephen Colbert, except deeper with more focus on learning than just pure entertainment.
