TBH, all those pose nothing really unexpected. It all makes sense. I was a real JS hater, too - just because I didn't understand the language and I would have laughed at those examples - until I watched "Crockford on JavaScript." It's an interesting, entertaining, educating, (quite longish) series you should treat yourself to. And just as drostie said, given the way the language was born, it's really an amazing thing. And yes, it does have ugly parts.
