*** In ''Comicbook/NewXMen'' 130, Xavier describes dealing with unmutated humans as "chimpanzee politics". Then again, this could just as easily be an insult directed at politicians, if not more so considering Xavier's beliefs on human-mutant relations and the fact that mutant humans are just as much ape as the regular sort of humans.

* ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'': In "ComicBook/WhoIsSuperwoman'', Supergirl calls the titular human villainess a "murderous babootch". A babootch is a Kryptonian three-eyed monkey. Similarly in "ComicBook/TheHuntForReactron", during a violent argument, Kryptonian Thara Ak-Var calls Kara a "stupid babootch".

* In ''Manga/SazanEyes'', the Sanzhiyan Umkara often refers to humans as "monkeys" or "apes" in a derogatory way. [[spoiler: With some justification, as Shiva revealed that modern homo sapiens were the result of interbreeding between humanized Sanzhiyan and apeish hominids.]] PlayedForLaughs when Parvati compares Gupta's newborn daughter to a monkey, a baboon, a macacque and then [[SerialEscalation to a prehistoric hominid]] in short order.

* In ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', there are several pointed references to humans being descended from apes, and more than one character addresses or refers to Arthur with some variation of "monkey man". What ''they're'' descended from isn't mentioned. This even extends to Betelgeuse natives, who look exactly like humans. [[spoiler:By the end of ''The Restaurant at the End of the Universe'' we find out that humans ''didn't'' evolve from apes. They evolved from telephone sanitizers and security guards that got banished from Golgafrinchum to primitive Earth for being useless, meaning this trope is [[PlayingWithATrope played with.]] [[InterspeciesRomance Unless some of the Golgafrinchums mated with the cavemen, that is.]]]]

* On a similarly racist note (albeit arguably with NWordPrivileges), Music/NickiMinaj's "Stupid Hoe" (a [[TheDissTrack diss track]] against Music/LilKim) gives us this reference to Music/MichaelJackson's chimpanzee Bubbles:
-->Look Bubbles, go back to your habitat\\
MJ gone and I ain't having that\\
How you gonna be the stunt double to the nigga monkey?

* ''LightNovel/Overlord2012'': The majority of the Floor Guardians absolutely detest humans, seeing them as lesser vermin that have no use other than to be killed and subjugated. While some such as Sebas view them with more respect, he still cares little for them in the grand scheme of things, and will instantly slaughter them by the thousands if commanded. A notable stand-out is Narberal Gamma, who throws out so many insect/worm/parasite/other insults at humans when she's fighting them that you would swear she has an insult thesaurus tucked under her outfit.
