[1, 55, 77, 88] // ...would return [55, 77, 88]

adding additional examples:

[1, 55, 77, 88, 99, 22, 33, 44] // ...wo         


        

Answer 1

Here is one I haven't seen that's even shorter

arr.slice(1).slice(-5)

Run the code snippet below for proof of it doing what you want

var arr1 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7],
  arr2 = [0, 1, 2, 3];

document.body.innerHTML = 'ARRAY 1: ' + arr1.slice(1).slice(-5) + '
ARRAY 2: ' + arr2.slice(1).slice(-5);

Another way to do it would be using lodash https://lodash.com/docs#rest - that is of course if you don't mind having to load a huge javascript minified file if your trying to do it from your browser.

_.slice(_.rest(arr), -5)
