The beginning of Muppets from Space, as well as a trailer joke there. The joke used in the film proper was a Statler and Waldorf quip about how they don't have lives on earth (as in social lives). | |

Big Finish Doctor Who. Played for Drama in "The Doomsday Contract" where the Doctor has to prove in a court of law that the Earth contains intelligent life so it won't be destroyed by a galactic construction company (the resemblance to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981) is likely not a coincidence, as Douglas Adams was script editor when John Lloyd first wrote it). | |

Buzz Lightyear's introduction in Toy Story 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. | |

Used in Mafalda, when she and her friend Felipe eagerly await the radio news on the latest space flight to Mars, Felipe comments excited on how amazing it is that there may be life on other planets. When the radio instead only gives news on the Vietnam war and other conflicts, Mafalda says that the amazing thing is that there is life on this planet. Another instance has Mafalda and Felipe looking at the stars and wondering if there's intelligent life out there and if they will ever contact us. |

In The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!, the alien Nemesites have held the lease to our planet for eons, designating it as a nature preserve, and consider the young species of humanity to be unintelligent wildlife. Princess Voluptua is deeply concerned about whether changing that legal designation to grant humans Imperial Citizenship would do mankind more harm than good. | |

Also, Pleakley is a Know-Nothing Know-It-All, which speaks volumes when he is considered an expert on Earth |
