comment
Two characters confront each other in a showdown. Sometimes it's a showdown to the death, but other times, it's something a little less elaborate. The best way to settle it is to see who can endure something the longest, whether it's laughter or even quicksand, or maybe enduring a whole swarm of bees.
Essentially, this is what's known as an Endurance Duel.
Sometimes, it can be just one character who has to endure the danger that befalls him. This can be used to show the character's prowess, which can impress the person who had him endure the danger in the first place.
Compare: Duel to the Death. Usually results in a Victory by Endurance.

Batman: Black and White: In "The Bat No More...?", the Scarecrow tries to destroy Batman by dosing him with a fear gas that makes him terrified of bats (as well as his own cowl, the symbol on his chest, etc.) Batman responds by developing a fear gas of his own and dosing the Scarecrow with it, then offering to trade antidote for antidote. The Scarecrow refuses. The story ends with them sitting opposite each other, waiting to see who will crack first.

Cougar Town had a comic version of this, with Andy and Bobby forced to look into each other's eyes while "Cat's in the Cradle" plays. First to cry loses.
Another episode had Jules and Bobby in a "white shirt" standoff. First to get a stain on their shirt loses.

Chapter 2 of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has one of these between Kiyotaka and Mondo, where they try to see who can endure a sauna the longest. Kiyotaka uses the sauna as normal, but Mondo, in a fit of machismo, keeps his Badass Longcoat on. The result isn't shown (the protagonist does not want to witness the contest), but by the next morning Kiyotaka and Mondo are friends and Hand Wave any questions, implying perhaps that they both nearly died and had to be rescued by Monokuma.

In Lords and Ladies, two witches have a competition to see who can stare at the sun longest without blinking or looking away. Neither of them is harmed by the ordeal, but a bystander who wanders too close gets a nasty sunburn from the diverted power. This causes one of the witches to break eye contact and help him, which wins her the competition since no witch should ignore a child in danger.

One Piece has a great one where Franky and Senor Pink have a "Manly Battle" of endurance. Senor Pink swims Franky up a building to do a major suplex, but Franky gets up and pounds his face in.
This also applies to Luffy and Katakuri's fight. Katakuri was clearly stronger, smarter faster, and even had more versatile and better Devil Fruit than Luffy. Despite being beaten to a pulp for 95% of the battle, Luffy was still able to get up and fight back. Eventually, Luffy was able to defeat Katakuri but not because he overpowered him at the end, Luffy outlasted him.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: When Elrond is denied permission to enter Khazad-dûm he invokes "The Rite of Sigin-tarâg". This turns out to be a duel against Prince Durin where they both smash rocks until one of them can't continue. If Elrond wins he gets to request a boon of the Dwarves, if he loses he's banished from all Dwarven lands forever.

In the Beyblade series, this is pretty much the main strategy for the majority of Stamina-type Beys. At most times, they often find themselves using their superior stamina to outlast their opponents in battle. This is often because most Stamina-type Beys lack the sufficient power to bring down their foes and, instead, must resort to outlasting to them. Only a few characters with Stamina beys subvert this trope most notably Free de la Hoya from the second season of Beyblade Burst as Free, despite having a Stamina-type, was considered the strongest blader in the world whose bey was able to drain the spin speed from other beys and even one-shot them.

Game of Thrones: This is how the North has survived throughout its long history. Whenever they were invaded they simply deployed their army at the Neck or Moat Cailin and stopped the enemy force long enough for their famous harsh winters to arrive, forcing the invading army to simply give up and return home. This carries over to the War of Five Kings where Robb, indeed most of the Northern army, simply thought that if they could win enough battles that they'd win the war as they'd never had to think of a strategy longer than 'beat them and win'.

In Fairy Tail, Elfman is put up against Baccus, who has a reputation of being Erza's equal in combat. He loses badly until he uses a Lizardman transformation, giving him hard spiked scales over his body. The fight then becomes a test of wills to see who will fall first; Elfman from getting beat up, or Bacchus from having his hands sliced up by the scales. Elfman wins, barely.

The SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Dunces And Dragons"; in one scene, Spongebob and friends come across the dark knight, who is essentially a medieval version of Sandy Cheeks. Spongebob easily endures Medieval Sandy's moves by countering back with his own moves, his karate (which he often pronounces as "kare-uh-tay").

The Minbari's Star-fire wheel in Babylon 5. The way the Minbari picked their leaders in the past was that the candidates would be placed in a beam of intense heat. The heat would be slowly cranked up. The one who stayed in the beam, risking death for their cause, got to be the winner.
