* Buzz Lightyear's introduction in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' could be read as a more subtle version of this. Immediately prior to meeting the other toys, Buzz, thinking he's a real space ranger, describes the "planet" (actually Andy's bedroom) that he finds himself in: "There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere" right before Woody pops up in front of him. A screencap of the scene has become something of a small internet meme in which it gets juxtaposed with particularly stupid comments.

no, even in that context intelligent means sapient, not just sentient

* Creator/{{Voltaire}}'s novella ''Literature/{{Micromegas}}'' posits a pair of aliens who come to Earth, one from a planet orbiting Sirus, the other from Saturn. Because they're so both so large that even mountains seem tiny to them, they speculate on whether or not Earth is capable of supporting life, with the Saturnite speculating that if life does exist on Earth it couldn't possibly be intelligent. Published in 1752, the story makes this trope OlderThanRadio.
