ちゃんちゃらおかしい
あまりにも馬鹿げているようなことがあったとき、「ちゃんちゃらおかしい」という俗語を使うことができます。
「おかしい」は "ridiculous/funny" を意味する言葉で、「ちゃんちゃら」は「おかしい」を強める働きを持ちます。
「ちゃんちゃら」の語源に関する有力な説は、歌舞伎や人形浄瑠璃において滑稽な文句や動作を表す「茶利（ちゃり）」から来ているといものです。
ただ、「ちゃんちゃらおかしい」は滑稽で面白いものを指す言葉ではなく、馬鹿げていることを嘲って使う言葉ですので、注意してください。

Oh, that's interesting. I've heard of guys who are really shallow being called チャラ男。I also like the phrase なんちゃらかんちゃら for how it sounds!

Thanks for the correction!
Indeed, this phrase sounds similar to チャラ男 (チャラチャラした男) and なんちゃらかんちゃら! Perhaps there is a common etymology. :)
