Actual dialog:

Stargate SG-1 S7E1 "Fallen"

Daniel gets kicked out of ascension land and is lying in the middle of a field or something. Just before a group of villagers stumble across his naked human body, the eldest one is telling parables:

SHAMDA: The new animal took a look around and immediately went and chose a place next to the laziest, greediest beast in the stable. When the master saw this, he put a yoke on him at once and took him back to the merchant.
KHORDIB: We've heard this one already.
SHAMDA: Has it lost its meaning?
KHORDIB: I mean you told it just now, on the way down to the waterhole.




Stargate SG-1 S10E20 "Unending"

While the team is stuck in a time bubble, Cameron starts going a bit senile:

CAMERON: When I said that I wanted to get the team back together, work with you guys, learn from you… I did not mean every waking moment for the next fifty years.
DANIEL: You said that yesterday.
CAMERON: I did?
TEAL'C: And the day before.
VALA: And the day before that.
CAMERON: Oh, sorry. I'll just... shut up now.

To further explain what the other comments are saying: there are two main similarities/crossovers between the two shows:

1. Cast Members

Two of the main characters from the last couple seasons of Stargate SG-1 and two of the main characters from Farscape were portrayed by the same actors. Ben Browder portrays Cameron Mitchell in Stargate SG-1 and John Crichton in Farscape. Claudia Black portrays Vala Mal Doran in Stargate SG-1 and Aeryn Sun in Farscape.

Cameron and John are pretty similar, personality-wise. But Vala and Aeryn are pretty much opposites; Aeryn is a tough soldier and Vala is a wacky thief.

Actor Stargate Character Farscape Character
Ben Browder Cameron Mitchell John Crichton
Claudia Black Vala Mal Doran Aeryn Sun


2. "200" Parody

In Stargate SG-1 S10E6 "200", there is a bit where the cast mimics Farscape. If you are not familiar with the show, it just seems like they are making fun of a bunch of generic sci-fi tropes or something. But to anyone who knows the show, they are clearly parodying specific characters and speaking words from the fictional alien language in that show.

Another amusing detail is that rumor has it, Ben Browder and Claudia Black were supposed to reprise their Farscape roles as John Crichton and Aeryn Sun for this bit. But while Claudia Black did stick to the script, on the day of the shoot, Ben Browder and Michael Shanks supposedly decided it would be funnier if they switched. So, Michael Shanks ended up parodying John Crichton while Ben Browder parodied Stark.

Ben Browder Cameron Mitchell Stark
Michael Shanks Daniel Jackson John Crichton
Amanda Tapping Samantha Carter Chiana
Claudia Black Vala Mal Doran Aeryn Sun
Christopher Judge Teal'c Ka D'Argo
some puppet Thor Rygel




Bonus

And like with any sci-fi, there are a bunch of little overlaps between plot points and whatnot, such as:
