Title says it all, really. For me, I tried to get a Razorback to tank shock a mob of 'stealers, and it failed. The 'stealers did one of the three possible actions listed below.

1) Moved out of the way to one side
2) Parted to let the Razorback get through
3) Carried the Razorback over them.

What about you?

This past Friday, actually. By some miracle I had a Rhino still alive turn 4 and a Dreadknight right in front of me. The passengers had already departed (and died, I think, they were Possessed) so I said, why not, Tank Shock the Dreadknight! However, in order to go straight I had to cross a corner of difficult terrain....and promptly fail my immobilize check.

My vindicators have very loosely bolted on cannons. Their cannons are always being shot off!

A favourite moment was tankshocking a multimelta attack bike off the table.

Another was spending an entire game ramming/blocking up a Land Raider and reducing it to a single hull point (while only loosing one myself!).

I once had a chimera attempt to tank shock a boys squad off an important objective (maelstrom). The nob death or gloried and exploded the Chimera with his klaw. On the bright side I managed to blow up half the squad with the resulting explosion

Tried to... 3 turns in a row. It kept on immobilizing in terrain and kept being repaired... Needless to say, it did nothing the entire game.

It was unlucky for my opponent.

Immolator tank shocks Czeras and a unit of 20 Necron Warriors (previous codex), blows his leadership and the huge unit scoots off the board with warlord in tow.

Unlucky for my opponent: Cato Sicarius attempts a death or glory attack against my Hades drill. Poor Sicarius fails to penetrate AV 11 and goes into the wood chipper. One of the greatest heroes of the Imperium, sprayed across the battlefield by a bunch of guardsmen with some construction equipment.

Haha that is hilarious would love to see that epic landraider battle.

Playing a custom mission. Both players (to start) controlled 1 objective each. Whilst controlling an objective, you had control over a couple of beefed up cultists. My opponent decided that if he couldn't control his cultists, I shouldn't be allowed to either (at the time they were under no control and reverted to treating both armies as enemies).

Tank Shocks the first one. The cultist leaps up in a craze rips off the Storm Bolter, losing his balance and falling down, in front of the Rhino and on top of the second cultist, resulting in them both getting squished.

This has made my evening, have a glorious ultrasmurf and blood hued exalt

I was on the receiving end of a tank shock. Ork trukk tank shocks my daemon prince. I do the math and decide my odds were pretty good. It had no weapons left. So I death or glory. The chaos gods were looking the other way or something. The trukk goes over a slight speed bump and my friend laughs at the best point investment in his army.

It was pretty anticlimactic because as I recall a mutilator crept up behind the immobilised land raider and punched it out with his chainfists, making the vindicator's valiant ramming a little redundant. Oh, I remembered another thing; I had a bunch of cultists blocking the sides and rear of the land raider for a few turns so between the vindicator and cultists the payload of the land raider was unable to disembark :p.
