Jennifer Garner stars in the perfectly obnoxious, totally hilarious trailer for Lena Dunham's 'Camping'
Watch Next

Say what you will about Lena Dunham, but she's clearly mastered a certain type of obnoxious comedy.

After ending her HBO hit Girls last year, the writer/director returns with a new show for the same network. This time, though, Dunham appears to be straying from autobiography and mostly staying behind the camera.

Camping stars Jennifer Garner in a role we're not accustomed to seeing her in. Even from just this 30-second teaser, it's clear the uptight Kathryn will be at least fun to watch -- even if she's insufferable to actually be around.

The show, which also stars Doctor Who and Jessica Jones' David Tennant, follows her reluctant journey into the outdoors to celebrate a birthday. Alongside Dunham, co-creators Jenni Konner and John Riggi have adapted the originally British series for an American audience.

You can catch Camping this October on HBO.
