Just to complicate things, the value of this actually depends on how the function is called.

A function's this keyword behaves a little differently in JavaScript compared to other languages. (…) In most cases, the value of this is determined by how a function is called. It can't be set by assignment during execution, and it may be different each time the function is called.

Which is why we have .bind(), .apply() and .call(). Learn to love those, while they feel a bit like a hack they're also very powerful :)

Also worth reading to understand the flexibility of functions/objects:
