This pun is operating on multiple frequencies! Heinrich Hertz (the guy in the photo) was the physicist who first conclusively proved the existence of electromagnetic waves. The unit of frequency, Hertz (Hz), was named after him - it measures cycles per second. So if someone slaps you at "high frequency," it would indeed "hertz" (hurts). The meme brilliantly transforms physical science into physical pain! The look on Hertz's face suggests he's both disappointed and impressed by this wordplay about his legacy.
