outlaughing

Beating in mirth

Outlaughing is laughing louder, longer, or more heartily than someone else—prevailing in a contest of laughter.

It can mean defeating someone through laughter rather than argument: She outlaughed her critics.

More literally, it describes simply laughing more than another person: The children were outlaughing each other at the cartoon.
