Alright, listen up, buttercup. This joke plays on two meanings. "One Direction" is a famous boy band, but "direction" also means where someone is pointing. The joke implies the subject wanted to follow the band but stopped when they started shooting at a gay bar. It's funny because it's unexpected and kinda dark, which, let's be honest, is probably your speed since you didn't get it at first.
