We're all going to hell for this, you understand.
The Ladies versus Butlers omakes are basically semi-animated cheesecake. Ten of the girls, in pairs, do a lot of posing as they gradually take off their clothes. This consumes about 3 minutes per omake.
I'd say that they are somewhat more ecchi than the Juuden-chan omakes, but the majority of the "animation" is camera zooms and pans over still images. And the Juuden-chan omakes made more sense in character terms, and were funny as well as ecchi. So while LvB made a good old try at surpassing the Juuden-chan omakes, I think the latter still holds the title.
In case it wasn't obvious, emphatically NSFW below the fold.
I'm going to provide quite a lot of pictures from the first one, just to give an idea of how they all go, and then just one or two from each of the others. Tomomi and Selnia's names were easy to pick out, and I've figured out that the Arab girls are named Hedyeh and Ayse, but for the rest I don't have a clue about their names, so I'll refer to them by their tropes instead.
It starts with Tomomi (the sadistic childhood friend) in the dining room, having a cup of tea and talking to the audience. Selnia (the Oujo) appears from off camera and gets mad at Tomomi.
In response to which, Tomomi stands up and pulls up her skirt to show her panties:
And it goes from there.
One of the things that really bothered me about all this is that most of the time, most of the girls look intensely uncomfortable. Several of them are crying while they pose. Looking at it makes me feel like a rapist.
The second one is the dojikko (clumsy girl) and the space case.
I'm not quite sure what the story is on the space case. I call her that because in the first episode, when Our Hero was fleeing for his life from the lynch mob, at one point he ended up in the dining room standing next to her. She spilled some tea on her dress, so she quite calmly stood up and took it off. And there she was, in her bra and panties, apparently completely unconcerned about the fact that there was a guy standing there looking at her. It wasn't that she was flirting with him, it was just that she was completely blasé about it all.
Moving right along, the third omake is the loli and the pettanko.
...and if you want to see any more of it, you can download your own copy. By the way, the pettanko isn't really all that flat. It's just that she doesn't measure up to most of the other girls. (Who are way above normal, we should probably note. The pettanko is actually pretty normal sized for a Japanese girl her age.)
The fourth one is the two arab girls:
Fifth is the meganekko and the trap.
...which, I guess, confirms that she is a trap.
The sixth one is all ten of the girls, posing in bikinis in the first half and then topless in the second. Including the loli. I'm not going to include any pictures from that one; it's all the same as what came before.
I wonder how long before some circle picks this all up and release a subbed version of the BD rip, including translating the six omakes? I'm curious what excuse the dialogue offers for why all of them are in the dining hall taking off their clothes. Or if they even bother trying to explain it.
The thing about the Juuden-chan omakes is that there genuinely was an excuse for all of them to be at that place, running around without any clothes on, doing the weird stuff they were doing. (They were all on vacation, and most of them were drunk.) There was even an excuse for the robot octopus in the second omake. Sure, the excuse was threadbare, but at least they tried. And they told stories and were funny, as well as being ecchi.
I bet they don't even make such an attempt here. Likely it's a 4th-wall break: We're going to take our clothes off now because you viewers want us to.
UPDATE: Oh, god. I just listened to the first one, and every time one of them poses, there are cheers and applause from an unseen crowd. Men's voices.
And there are voiceovers by the girls. When Tomomi poses on her back with her legs spread, the voice says hontou wa hazukashii no desu ka "This is really embarassing, isn't it?"

OK, Wikipedia has all the answers.
The trap is Kaoru Daichi.
The dojikko is Sanae Shikikagami
The pettanko is Pina Sformklan Estoh.
The loli is Mimina Ousawa and "she's older than she looks". She is in fact 19 and has spent most of her life in a hospital bed, which is why she's so small.

That's what Wikipedia said. ANN says it's "Pina Suforumukuran Estoh" which I assume is transliterated from katakana.
And it looks like the space case is Saori Shikikagami, older sister of the dojikko.

It also looks like they used the same "sukoshi pocchari" model for reference for all the girls' stomachs and thighs, even the trap, which doesn't work. Maybe if they knocked them down a few pounds and used the deliciously soft Ai Shinozaki for reference... (link goes to bikini pics)

I'm with you. One of the reasons Bettie Page became a classic was that she looked completely comfortable and happy doing the things she was photographed doing.
Having the girl look bored is bad, but having her look afraid or unhappy is even worse. There isn't anything sexy about that.
