The circumstances and the extent of the characters similar goofiness were extremely different as well as the reasons for how they were treated by others. Naruto sought attention in the worst ways in order to validate his existence (he eventually learned that this was a pretty poor way to live his life). Obito was simply a shy boy (or at least I read him as being shy during last weeks flashback) who did not live up to his clans expectations and who desperately wanted his first crush to notice him.
Quite honestly, Hinata is a better comparable character to Obito than Naruto.

The previous chapters flashback covered between the ages of 5 to 13, and I find it unlikely that there is some hidden secret before the age of 5 (then again, Itachi did see a battlefield at the age of 4, so anything is possible). So, we have the reasons behind Obito's nature and attitude. How Obito was shaped after his "death" is still unknown, but we can understand who he was before he landed in Madara's lap (which is all I have been discussing).
