Trademarks: Potentially Trademark Infringement

I'm working on a short film for Internet release (for sale on Amazon Prime and on YouTube with ads). It's a mockumentary comedy that is a parody of a documentary TV show. In a way it's a form of commentary. It pokes fun at democrat policies as well as media bias in a "what if scenario". For example CNN "joyously" reports that Republicans have been wiped off the face of the earth. I wanted to also have mention Anderson Cooper soiling his pants in elation because Republicans have been wiped off the face of the earth.
I see TV comedy shows (SNL, late night shows) making fun of real people and companies. Why would a short video be any different.
