This is just taking the exact JD bottle shape and logo, changing a couple of words and making it a plush toy. A Weird Al song is an entirely new song, written and performed to the beat of the current song. The difference is a lot of hours of time and creativity.

Songs can't be trademarked, so this isn't a relevant comparison in any case.

Again, you generally cannot trademark your likeness. There are exceptions for its commercial use, but the ability to "talk shit" about politicians is highly protected.
