For proper effect, try to read this without blinking. A Staring Contest is a competition where a number of players (usually two) must lock sights with each other's eyes and stare for as long as possible. The first player to look away or blink loses. As an optional rule, the players may do anything they want (without touching the other player) to try to get the other player to look away or blink. Compare Staring Down Cthulhu, which is a bit more extreme. May involve a Lightning Glare. |

Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 2: The Siege of Spinner Cay: Guybrush places Hardtack and Trenchfoot into a staring contest, into which our hero can distract the pirate duo into looking behind them so he can place the Pyrite Parrot into the treasure chest, in hopes that he can find where they'll bury it along with one of the Summoning Artifacts later. | |

The sketch comedy show Almost Live! once did a bit where two guys get into a staring contest that goes on for years, with one of them even getting married in the process, with the other guy being his best man. His wife finally gets fed up and storms out, her slamming the door behind her causing both men to blink simultaneously. They immediately start in on a "holding your breath" contest... | |

1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. The original Oriental Adventures supplement has the Psychic Duel. When two opponents meet, they stare at each other, each testing their respective willpower and courage against the other. Normally, the loser of the duel acknowledges the other character as the winner and turns away. If combat occurs after the duel is over, the loser has a -1 penalty to their initiative, saving throws and "to hit" rolls. | |

The Brak Show had a whole episode revolving around a staring contest. Dad is a champion of staring contests. While he easily tricks Brak into blinking, Zorak's a much harder target. Unfortunately for Zorak, the juices of his eyes start attracting wasps, which sting his eyeballs (And he STILL doesn't blink). He's dragged away to the hospital under protest, because he still wants to win. At the end of the episode, Dad's old nemesis, The Eye (A giant anthromorphic eyeball) says up and offers a challenge. Dad quickly goes back to his paper and mutters for him to go to hell. | |

RWBY: Fairy Tales of Remnant: One of the stories is "The Man Who Stared at the Sun", or "The Farmer and the Sun". In the story, the Farmer and the Sun have a wager. If the Farmer wins, the Sun will always shine the ideal temperature on his crops so long as his family diligently works the land. If the Sun wins, the Farmer and his family will praise and worship the Sun and spread that worship to other people. The Farmer first tries to race the Sun, but the Sun demands a staring contest instead. After weeks of holding the contest, with the Sun constantly trying to trick the Farmer into looking away, the Sun eventually has to forfeit because the rest of the world was suffering without its light. In the end, it's revealed that the Farmer went blind as soon as the contest started and was faking staring at the Sun to win. The Sun is angry at being tricked, but keeps his side of the wager in honor of the Farmer's sacrifice. | |

Doctor Who: The Weeping Angels ability (they can't move but can't be hurt, as they lock themselves out of time, when being looked at) forces you to get into these for your life. If you so much as blink, the Angel is going to Flash Step next to you and kill you before your eyelids have time to open again. They also have a second sneaky trick in that if you look them directly in the eye, they will animate the image of the angel in your retina, which will claw it's way out of your eye and kill you anyway. To be safe, you have to look at them, but NOT in the eye. Then along comes the Silence, which if you look away you'll forget they ever existed. You must maintain contact with one of them, otherwise they'll kill you when you fail to remember them. |

Averted in Artemis Fowl, where Butler and an equally large bodyguard don't engage in this trope. Butler has previously shown that he has a very effective Death Glare, but here the narration notes that both men are blinking normally so as to avoid dry eyeballs, and that staring contests are for amateurs. | |

Frasier: A common gag in the early seasons was the title character being stared at by Eddie, his father's Jack Russell Terrier. One time Frasier decided to try and turn it into one of these. He lost after about five seconds. Another episode has everything going Fraiser's way for once, and so he starts another contest and triumphantly chases Eddie off the couch. |

In the first Pokémon short Pikachu's Vacation, Snubbull has challenges with Squirtle and Bulbasaur this way. Squirtle falls back, Bulbasaur rolls its eyes until Snubbull gets dizzy. | |

In Judge Dredd, as of 2134, competitive staring is a professional sport in Mega-City one with a relatively small but growing following. | |
