What's the difference between お調子者 and かっこつけ?
These are fundamentally different words. A stereotypical
[ちゃらい](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/5094/5010) person may have both
traits, though.

**お調子者** refers to a frivolous and talkative person who does not have their
own opinion and readily chimes in with others. An お調子者 likes to survive by
flattering someone or being flattered by someone.

**かっこつけ** is someone who tries hard to appear or act cool. It can imply the
person is empty inside and does not have an ability that matches their
appearance.
