Supernatural does it. A lot of angels call humans "mud monkeys."

I imagine any kind of fiction which has a more cynical take on Christian mythology with angels thinking themselves superior would use "monkeys" as a go-to insult for humans.

Just the idea that they are independent higher beings with human-like emotions, so they look down on lesser beings. While the literal monkey comparison isnt something I see, arrogant angels that look down on humanity or scorn then for being the Gods chosen seems to be a common trope.
