This is why he is not only so genre savvy, but also so knowledgeable about events before they happen.
* In one reset, he spends time with Polonius, which explains how he knows that "the old man thinks [Hamlet] is in love with his daughter".
* In at least one reset, he saw the fencing match between Hamlet and Laertes, which his Tragedians perform but could not have witnessed if they'd spent every reset with R & G.

This is highly believable, because 1) he is the leader of a theater troupe that can do all kinds of play (as long as there is blood), much like Shakespeare and his plays. Polonius also mentions (in the original play) that he played the title role in "Julius Caesar", another Shakespeare play, making Shakespeare canonical in this world. Finally, the most important fact is that he and his troupe know how "Hamlet" ends, unlike most other characters.
He also talks about how all the world's a stage, which is a reference to Shakespeare's play "As You Like It" (the exact quote being "The whole world's a stage, and all men and women merely players". He understands that this is a play, and so makes no matter of anything, including his own faked death.

* The real problem is that the coin toss goes whatever way would be convenient either to advance the plot or set up a gag, and Guildenstern noticing this is a symptom of being overtly aware of his surroundings. Now, we know for a fact that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern die, and the text overtly implies that each time this happens ''Hamlet'' merely begins again. Therefore, even assuming they got close to an afterlife in their brief time in-between the peal of ordnance getting shot off and Bernardo entering, the coin toss is going to fail.
