methinks it's a combination of the actual melodic line and the timbre used.
the silliness archetype for me is
square waves+no filter+ quick attack+straight 8th notes. no?
think of those alphaville hit singles. i can't really pin it down...

specific song examples:

SILLY

IO.
perlence.
chenc9

NOT SILLY, GREAT

rae / lp5
dropp / ep
untilted, except ipacial section, fermium (silly, pulls it off)

RATHER SILLY, BUT PULLS IT OFF NICELY or even GREATLY

Eidetic Casein
++APHEX TWIN (artist)
++PLAID (artist)
