Curious: what does "Hou my dop" literally translate to?

Both of the above. "Dophou" means to watch/monitor. "My" is me/my. "Hou" is hold, and "dop" is shell or drink.

Etymologically, "watch" comes from holding a cup for someone to pour drink into. It's a task one must watch carefully. Hence, "hold my beer" and "watch me" are the same phrase.

It's not really a funny joke or anything. I just find it amusing, that to Americans "hold my beer and watch this" is a meme while to us, it's the same thing.

well we usually say one or the other, which is interesting.

It is, Father, but at least in "hold my beer," "watch this" seems to be implied.

Picture related.
