YES I KNOW THAT.
And as you stated yourself, they're close* comments, not *exact comments.
Also I've never heard that expression of "I MOVE ....." is it usual?
I've most often hear "I move FOR something."

But just want to make sure:)

Typing in all capitals is perceived as shouting. Please don't do it.

"Closed captioning" has nothing to do with "close (but not exact) comments." Captions are "closed" if you have to choose a menu selection to make them visible on your screen. Captions are transcriptions of dialogue, not comments.

"I move (that). . . " is the formal way of making a suggestion (or "motion") during a meeting that follows a strict procedure such as Robert's Rules of Order. Then the members vote "aye"

or "nay"

on the motion that has been made.

Why is the word THAT skipped here?
And is it informal to do so?

I assume you're joking about CC standing for "close" comments.

Where have you heard the expression "I move for"? Parliamentry actions to implement laws are called motions, so members of the body make motions or move to get something done -- vote on a proposal, table a proposal, adjourn, etc. You don't move for something. You either "move the previous question" (i.e., bring the issue under discussion to a vote) or "move that" some action be taken.

I assume that this must be to your amusement, then, deadrat;)

I  should be more careful to qualify my statements.  In courts based on English law (and probably in the state of Louisiana as well), when you make a motion, your ask the court to take a position on a substantive issue, e.g, a motion to dismiss the charges against the defendant.  In that case, the movant says "move for."  In parliamentary systems based on English custom, motions are procedural, and the moving party says "move that."  In the video, the conceit is that the family dinner is being conducted as a parliamentary session.
